The Matthew C. Sellitto (MCS) Foundation was established after Matthew’s death on September 11, 2001 to make something positive out of a tragic loss. Since its inception, MCS has awarded scholarships to students attending various institution and summer programs and in conjunction with the 9/11 Tribute Center in New York City, has supported educational programs to provide students with a greater understanding of the events of 9/11.
After the sudden death of Matthew’s brother Jonathan in March, 2017, the Foundation has established an endowment at the Portsmouth Abbey School in Rhode Island which will focus on the culinary arts program and volunteerism.
