About Us

​The 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 (NL). 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. Read more about their story in  Givers of the World: Celebrating 25 years of student support by the Fry Family Foundation.

Vision

​In 2022, FFF celebrates 25 years of providing support to community and educational partners. FFF continues to provide support for disadvantaged segments of society, and also support for the development of leadership skills within our student population through a range of activities that include scholarships, entrepreneurship, community education and social enterprise. The Foundation has also made a commitment to focus its efforts and resources towards NL. Whenever possible, FFF will seek to deepen the impact of our investment by incorporating more education and leadership deliverables into our projects.

Ethical Principles

FFF 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.
