Ed and Charlene Friedman Family Fund

Ed and Charlene Friedman have a strong history in philanthropy and a desire to give back to the community they love so much. Their passion surrounds helping families in crisis, addressing the cycle of poverty, and giving people the chance to recover and find hope. The Ed and Charlene Friedman Family Fund was opened with an estate gift from Ed, upon his passing in 2020, to help people survive and rise above poverty. This fund provides funding for nonprofits with programs that assist these individuals during their time of need. This includes helping individuals and families find appropriate physical and mental health care, and necessary services, such as food, shelter, clothing, and education.
