The Domenica Foundation partners with nonprofit organizations to improve the quality of life for underserved communities in South Jersey. We fund programs that provide education, food, housing, and other resources that open the door of opportunity and enable people to thrive. The Domenica Foundation was established in 1991 to honor Pepe Piperno’s mother, Domenica. As our family matriarch, Domenica was entirely other-centered, filled with compassion and called to help those who needed a hand up. It is in her generous spirit that the Foundation was created and continues to operate with the same values instilled in our family for generations.
