The HEADStrong Foundation

The HEADstrong Foundation is a charitable, non-profit organization that offers financial, residential, and emotional support to families affected by cancer. The Foundation is based just outside of Philadelphia, where patients often travel seeking care and leaving their homes behind.

Founded in 2006, The HEADstrong Foundation strives to improve quality of life for those affected by cancer. With every action they make, they are fulfilling the vision of the late Nicholas Colleluori, founder of the HEADstrong Foundation. Nick was diagnosed with large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2005.

The Community’s Foundation

The Community’s Foundation has existed since 1986. Originally, the Foundation was the Parent Corporation of Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park, PA. However, their mission fundamentally changed in 1997, when Taylor Hospital was sold to the Crozer-Keystone Health System and the Foundation began to function as an independent charitable entity.

Since 1997, the group has been operating as a Community Foundation. Community Foundations are grant-making public charities that are dedicated to improving the lives of people in a defined geographic area. Despite many name changes over the 20+ years, The Community’s Foundation has been steadfast in their priorities: awarding grants to local non-profits, awarding scholarships to promising students, and connecting individuals that care with causes that matter.
