About The Mary Tipton Corporation
The Mary Tipton Corporation (TMTC), a 501(C) 3 non-profit service organization, formed in Atlanta, GA provides social services in the community. It is named for the grandmother of our founder and Board Chair, Keely Foster, LPC. Mary Tipton was a prominent member of her community, an English teacher, loving wife and mother. Mary's world was turned upside down when her toddler daughter, crawled to close to the fireplace and was severely burned and died from her injuries. Mary attempted to be strong and continue to live her life she had three wonderful daughters after the death of her first child. Unfortunately, Mary fell further and further into a psychotic depression and lost her ability to care for herself and her family. If not for a loving community, who embraced her and her family, the outcome of her legacy would have been more tragic. With this story in her heart, Keely has led us to create a non-profit organization to give back in the way the community gave back to her grandmother.

As a testimony to the perseverance of a strong woman and community, it has become our mission to provide the underserved citizens in the Metro-Atlanta area with the services Mary Tipton was not able to access and/or receive. The Mary Tipton Corporation is committed to encouraging perseverance and dignity to help restore the functional beauty of the mind.
