Making higher education available to students through need-based scholarships
Mission
The goal of The Richard J. Trifiro and Anthony G. Capobianco Foundation is to make higher education available to high school seniors who may need financial assistance to attend or remain in college. The foundation has awarded hundreds of scholarships to date, with recipients successfully completing undergraduate degree programs at some of the country’s finest institutions of higher education, including Brown University, University of Connecticut, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Wentworth Institute of Technology.
History of the Foundation
Helping young adults open doors to a brighter future… This is what Atlantic Management’s co-founder, Richard J. Trifiro, was passionate about. Richard was dedicated to helping underserved populations of students extend their educations through need-based scholarships. Richard mentored, guided, and supported many students he met through his charitable activities, forming lasting relationships with each and counting every student he helped in life as a member of his family.
Following Richard’s passing in 1999, the Richard J. Trifiro Foundation was formed in 2000 under the direction of Atlantic Management’s other co-founder Anthony G. Capobianco to carry on Richard’s philanthropic mission. From 2000 to 2016, Anthony guided the Foundation from an idea to its current robust state, and today, the foundation carries on its mission of helping students under the name of the Richard J. Trifiro and Anthony G. Capobianco Foundation.
