Following Corey's tragic passing on August 16, 2014, the Griffin family and close friends founded the Corey C. Griffin Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

Given his incredible passion for life and uncommon dedication to philanthropy, it was not difficult to map out the guiding principles of the foundation: improving the lives of primarily Boston-area children through strategic partnerships with the city’s leading educational and healthcare institutions, with an emphasis on faith-based initiatives. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to succeed, irrespective of their financial or health circumstances; our partnerships are helping make this goal a reality. — We focus on access to high-quality education, youth character-building programs, healthcare equity, and extended-stay patient family housing.

— Over $20 Million Raised to support families of pediatric patients and research at Boston Children’s Hospital, fund the Kids’ Healthy Minds Initiative at Franciscan Children’s, provide scholarships to students at Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy, send underprivileged children to the Ron Burton Training Village, and much more.

— Your donation fuels our mission to fundamentally change under-served children’s lives. Our work is inspired by Corey C. Griffin, who tragically passed in 2014, his passion for life, and his dedication to improving the lives of Boston-area children – lovingly known as “Corey’s Kids.”

— We support Corey’s Kids and their families through high-impact strategic partnerships with Boston Children’s Hospital, Franciscan Children’s Hospital, Ron Burton Training Village, My Brother’s Keeper, Corey’s Kids Christmas, the Boston Police Department’s Bureau of Community Engagement, the Achieve Program, and others.
