Our mission

The Sethi Memorial Foundation is dedicated to strengthening communities in Southwest Florida by providing charitable support to individuals and families in need.

We focus our work where a family's stability is most often decided: whether there is food on the table, whether home is safe, whether health is understood and cared for, and whether young people have someone guiding them toward a future.

Every program carries forward the values our founders lived by as physicians and philanthropists: compassion, integrity, service, and humanity.
