Disambiguation

[edit]

There are several unrelated organizations by this name, and at least some are potentially notable, so this should probably be a disambiguation page, with the current article either at the Greek name of the organization, or at Starfish Foundation (Greece).

  • One spells it StarFish Foundation (http://TheStarFishFoundation.com), based in Burlington, Ontario. This one was founded by Carol Fenn and Joanne Shield, and is focused on providing educational opportunities to needy but gifted children.
  • Soledad O'Brien Starfish Foundation, often simply called the Starfish Foundation. Based in New York City. Recently renamed the PowHERful Foundation (http://PowHERful.org) to match their conference branding. Founders: Soledad O'Brien and Brad Raymond. Focused on educational opportunities for young women, especially in STEM. Definitely notable.
  • Another is Starfish Foundation (http://StarfishFound.org/), of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Provides scolarship and other help for the emotionally traumatized, especially veterans suffering PTSD.
  • Starfish Foundation (http://TheStarfishFoundation.net/), website presently not working. Based in Wichita Falls, Texas. Founder: Dennis Cady. Mission: humanitarian aid, and educational and community resources, especially in Indonesia, Sudan, and Haiti.
