Timmy Foundation company information, Employees & Contact Information

Building healthy futures by expanding access to healthcare and education, while empowering students and volunteers to engage directly in global development. Vision The people we serve have the promise of healthy futures and our volunteers carry with them a spirit of humanitarianism and global awareness in their everyday lives. Background The Timmy Foundation was founded in 1997 by Dr. Charles Dietzen (Dr. Chuck), an Indianapolis-based pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. After working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta in 1996, Dr. Chuck was inspired to broaden his commitment to serving children in an international setting and empower others to do the same. The foundation was named for ‘Timmy,’ Dr. Chuck’s older brother who passed away during infancy. The name is a tribute to both his family and children everywhere who all deserve the right to healthy futures.
