Our Team - The Fry Family Foundation
Our Founders
Married for over 50 years, Darryl and Marlene Fry's shared values guide the Fry Family Foundation's culture and direction. They divide their time between Florida, New Mexico and Ontario. Darryl and Marlene maintain a strong commitment to the people of their home province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Their philanthropy reflects a deep-rooted sense of responsibility to give back to their community. Connectivity to the organizations they support and meeting with scholarship recipients are important for the Frys. They both remain actively involved in the Fry Family Foundation.

Board of Trustees
Fry Family Foundation is governed by an all-volunteer Board, comprised of friends and three generations of family members who set policy and ensure the Foundation's good governance. Many of the Trustees are also volunteers with the organizations which receive support from the Foundation. Fry Family Foundation is fully funded by Darryl and Marlene Fry and their family. It is a 'zero expense' organization, for which we are very proud. Aggressive investing and a no-expense operation has permitted the Foundation to grow rapidly in assets and contributions to partners.
The Foundation supports initiatives in communities where the Trustees live. Our communities include Newfoundland & Labrador, Ontario, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico and Colorado.

Our Founders, Trustees and Friends are all volunteers who have enjoyed representing FFF at many events with Community and Education Partners for over 25 years. They give of themselves as much as FFF provides funding.
In 2022, we celebrated the milestone of 25 years as a Foundation providing support to organizations across North America. It was also an opportunity to honour two leaders and Friends who made a significant contribution to the work of the Foundation during its history. In St. John's, retired Friend Dr. Philip Warren, was presented with a Legend Award for his Leadership in the development of the FFF Scholarship Program. In Glovertown, Clarice Goodyear was presented with a Legend Award for her Leadership in the establishment of Ken Diamond Memorial Park. Read more about our FFF 25th Anniversary Legends. In 2017, Fry Family Foundation celebrated 20 years as a Foundation. At that time, we honoured a select group of 16 leaders and volunteers from organizations that the Foundation had partnered with during its history. Three of those honourees, Corinne Dunne, Bob Dawson and Judy Casey, are now Friends of the Foundation. Read more about our 20th Anniversary Best of the Best Award recipients. |
