Sylvia's Foundation, Inc. is a non-denominational,
not-for-profit organization that was chartered in Florida in September 2002
and has been
recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization that meets
501 (c)(3) requirements (this means your
contributions are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law) .
While there are many agencies and organizations serving the needs of single moms, and a significant
number of organizations serving the needs of mature widows, there are very few
support organizations that provide specialized assistance to widows with dependent children.
Our mission is to develop programs that will improve the quality of life and make a difference for young, widowed
moms and their children. These programs include educational aid
and stipends and
automobile and home ownership assistance grants.
The Founder and Chairman of the Board of the Foundation is Vic Johnson, a Florida-based
Internet entrepreneur who is also the grandson of Sylvia Murphy Fanelli. The organization
is currently engaged in an international recruiting search to complete its Board of Directors.
If you have an interest in serving or would like to nominate a candidate, please
