The Cause Foundation

The CAUSE Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1994 by Monica Wheat Leonard, a currently retired United Airlines flight attendant. Funds are distributed through an application process to United Airlines flight attendants who are unable to work due to injury, illness or disability. This grant is intended as a short-term bridge until other financial arrangements are in place and covers only basic living expenses.

CAUSE also administers the CAUSE Foundation/Berni Schafer Memorial Scholarship which benefits the children of deceased United Airlines flight attendants in their pursuit of higher education.

CAUSE issues grants to other not-for-Profit charities which benefit United Airlines flight attendants or their families and charitable gift to minors accounts were established for the children of those UA flight attendants who tragically lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

CAUSE is an acronym standing for Concerned Attendants for a United Support Effort.
