Matthew Perry Foundation launches after actor’s death to help people struggling with addiction

A charity called the Matthew Perry Foundation has just been established. Named after the late actor, its mission is to provide assistance to those dealing with addiction.

"The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew's enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction," the mission statement reads. "It will honor his legacy and be guided by his own words and experiences and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible." Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.

The charity's website is sparse right now, with only the mission statement and a form to donate, but it also includes a photo of Perry and a memorable quote he made during an appearance on the "Q with Tom Power" podcast last year.
