The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund was established in response to the devastating loss of 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Following that tragic event, Cantor Fitzgerald’s former Chairman & CEO, Howard W. Lutnick, pledged 25% of the company’s profits over five years, in addition to providing 10 years of healthcare coverage for the surviving family members. This incredible commitment totaled $180 million in support of the families.
The response ignited a culture of dedication to supporting those touched by tragedy that continues within the firm to this day. Building on the lessons learned from 9/11, the Relief Fund has since expanded its mission to include support for families and individuals that have been deeply impacted by acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and other emergencies, as well as wounded members of our military, direct service and other charities.
