Pellerin Foundation
Impacting Community
The Pellerin Foundation is rooted in a simple belief: we have a responsibility to better what matters most.
Guided by faith, family, integrity, trust, compassion, relationships and a commitment to service, we support people, organizations and initiatives that improve health and well-being, develop human potential, expand opportunity and strengthen communities.
Our giving is both intentional and responsive. We remain committed to longstanding areas of support while continuing to listen, learn and respond to the people and needs that move us.
Bettering What Matters Most.

“We believe success carries a responsibility to give back. Through the Pellerin Foundation, we invest thoughtfully in people, strengthen communities, and build strategic partnerships that create lasting opportunity and meaningful progress.” — Richard and Lori Pellerin
