The Elmezzi Foundation

The Elmezzi Foundation is a private foundation whose mission is to encourage and support programs that directly provide assistance to individuals who, due to either environment or circumstance, have not had the opportunity or ability to live independent and productive lives. Such challenges may be physical, medical, economic, environmental, or geographical. We strive to have a direct and measurable impact on the quality of individual lives, through innovative program design and development.

The philosophy of the Thomas and Jeanne Elmezzi Foundation mirrors the philosophy of its founder. We believe that all people are entitled to pursue their dreams and have the right and obligation to be productive and contributing members of this society. We recognize that situations and circumstances befall some individuals, impeding their development and restricting opportunity.
