Founded in 2000, the Tony DeRosa Foundation was created as a not-for-profit vehicle to support the charitable interests of the person whose name it bears. Although only 27 years of age at his death, Tony’s initiatives in supporting and protecting the disadvantaged and underserved of his community were well recognized. This commitment was evidenced by the sharing of both his talents and financial assets to improve the emotional or economic status of those in need of assistance. The role of the Foundation is to provide support to those individuals whose needs are consistent with the mission of the Tony DeRosa Foundation. Learn more about our selection criteria.
We seek to ensure that opportunities are provided to those in need of assistance to maximize each individual’s potential by:
Supporting educational endeavors through scholarships.
Providing specialized care and services for physically and mentally challenged children.
Giving aid to the homeless.
