The Timmy Mathisen Fund was created by The Thomas E. Smith Foundation in support of Timmy Mathisen, who sustained a paralyzing spinal cord injury in July 2025.

The Timmy Mathisen Fund at The Thomas E. Smith Foundation is aligned with our mission is to better the lives of those affected by and living with paralysis through financial and emotional support, as well as supporting preventive innovations that decrease the risk of spinal cord injuries.

The Board of The Thomas E. Smith Foundation will determine and adjust how the funds will be spent in accordance with the organization’s charitable purposes, in consultation with the family, and will support medical and rehabilitation, equipment, accessibility renovations, and other necessities not covered at all or quickly enough by insurance or other means.

If ever the Board, and the family, determine that the Fund is no longer necessary, the balance of the Fund will revert to support the mission of The Thomas E. Smith Foundation to ensure that people affected by paralysis have access to quality of life and to support innovation to one day find a cure.

The Thomas E. Smith Foundation welcomes contributions of any kind. Checks can be made payable to The Thomas E. Smith Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 46, Marblehead, MA 01945. Please note the "Timmy Mathisen Fund" on the memo line.
