In January 2010, Brittany Murphy’s mother, Sharon, and her ex-husband, Simon Monjack, founded the Brittany Murphy Foundation. The USO, cancer research, and children’s arts education were among the foundation’s priorities.
The foundation was originally introduced on February 4, 2010, at a fundraising event hosted at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. When it was discovered that the foundation had not applied for not-for-profit status, any donations were, nonetheless, returned.
According to a formal statement on the foundation’s website, it was founded as a private foundation with plans to subsequently seek non-profit status.
The group made the choice to hold off on carrying out its charity goals until the status was approved in order to appropriately commemorate Murphy and her legacy.
The Brittany Murphy Foundation was relaunched on November 10, 2013, according to a news release on the foundation’s website, by Brittany Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti.
However, it appears as of September 2018 that the foundation is dormant. According to GuideStar USA, a service that monitors US nonprofit organizations, the disappearance of The Brittany Murphy Foundation from the IRS Business Master File for a while may be a sign that the organization is no longer operating.
