About UsThe Fry Family Foundation (FFF) is a private, U.S. based organization. It was founded and funded by Darryl and Marlene Fry, who were born and educated in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. In 1996, Darryl created five scholarships at Memorial University (MUN) to reward the accomplishments of the next generation and to recognize individuals who had inspired him. Establishing these scholarships inspired him to co-found the Fry Family Foundation with his wife Marlene in 1997.

VisionIn 2017, Fry Family Foundation celebrated 20 years of providing charitable support. That occasion was an opportunity to revisit our mandate and plans for the future. From that process came a reaffirmation of FFF support for disadvantaged segments of society, and also support for the development of leadership skills within our student population. There was a commitment made to focus the efforts and resources of the Foundation towards Newfoundland and Labrador.
Ethical PrinciplesFFF projects and funds are directed towards organizations that demonstrate strong, capable and energetic management, fiscal accountability and tax compliance. All charities we support must pass the USA public charity test or maintain status as a hospital, university, school or community.
