FIDELITY FOUNDATION

Scam Email Warning

Several scam emails and letters claiming to be from or associated with the Fidelity Foundation are circulating on the Internet.

In recent emails, recipients are notified they have been selected through an electronic computer ballot system to receive a grant from the Fidelity Foundation. In some instances, recipients are instructed to provide personal information to a contact office in London.

These emails, accompanying materials, and claims are in no way associated with the Fidelity Foundation, Edward C. Johnson 3d, or foundation trustees. The Fidelity Foundation does not award random grants or unsolicited funds nor do we ask for information from our grantees outside a Proposal Review process. We recommend not responding to emails making such claims.
