A statement from the Matthew Perry Foundation said it was \u201cthe realisation of Matthew\u2019s enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction\u201d. The website shares a quote from Perry which has gone viral since his death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I die, I don\u2019t want \u2018Friends\u2019 to be the first thing that\u2019s mentioned \u2013 I want helping others to be the first thing that\u2019s mentioned. And I\u2019m going to live the rest of my life proving that. Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The foundation is a fund sponsored and maintained by the charity National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), who say in their mission statement they want to increase philanthropy.<\/p>\n
