SFM Foundation is a non-profit organization created to administer a scholarship program to benefit children of workers injured or killed in work-related accidents. Our mission is to assist deserving students who have been affected by a parent’s work-related injury regardless of who the insurer was at the time of injury. All applications are graded independently regardless of the applicant’s insurer.
