The NATE D Foundation was founded in loving memory of Nate, whose life continues to inspire our mission. The Foundation was started by his mother, Tiffany, and her close friend Tanya as a way to honor Nate’s life and turn personal loss into meaningful action.

Nate was deeply loved and more than his struggles. He was a son, a friend, and a person with hopes, dreams, and a kind heart. His passing left an immeasurable void, but it also sparked a commitment to ensure that his story would bring hope, awareness, and support to others facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Through advocacy, community initiatives, and scholarships, the NATE D Foundation carries forward Nate’s legacy with compassion and purpose. Every conversation sparked, every life supported, and every step toward recovery reflects the love, dedication, and vision of Tiffany, Tanya and the incredible volunteers who help bring this mission to life.
