PENDELTON, SC -- Thanks to the generous support of Coverings 2025, North America’s largest tile and stone showcase, and its attendees and exhibitors, the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) has received $5,200 for ceramic tile education programming.
The $5,200 consisted of donations from Coverings exhibitors and donations made through Coverings Cares.
Coverings Cares, launched in 2024, is a Coverings initiative to support the tile and stone industry, green initiatives and the local community hosting the show with $20,000. For 2025, Coverings identified the following six non-profit charitable organizations recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as being tax-exempt by virtue of their charitable activities:
Ceramic Tile Education Foundation – CTEF
Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS – DIFFA
Gary Sinise Foundation

During the Coverings 2025 registration process, attendees had the option to donate to one of those charities. To enhance the impact, Coverings matched every dollar donated -- up to a total of $20,000.
