The foundation, which was launched on November 3rd, is a donor-advised fund sponsored and maintained by National Philanthropic Trust. The foundation said in a statement that they were hoping to honour his legacy.
"In the spirit of Matthew Perry's enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction, we embark on a journey to honor his legacy by establishing the Matthew Perry Foundation, guided by his own words and experiences, and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible," the statement read.
