Farrell Family Foundation

Welcome To The Farrell Family Foundation

"One of the more important gifts I could instill in my children is the knowledge that a true sense of satisfaction and fulfillment is achieved through giving back to the community. Giving is a responsibility, and should be done thoughtfully and carefully.

We see our gift giving as an investment upon which we look for a return; a return that is a quantifiable improvement in society.

In other words, we don't give based on needs; we invest in expected outcomes." - Dr Peter C. Farrell

Mission Statement

"Since our child was diagnosed with cancer our family has been in emotional and financial turmoil. I don't think we could have made it through the ordeal without the support of the Red Kite social worker program, which the Farrell Family Foundation has generously supported."
