History of the Grant Fund
In 1998, Maureen Faulkner and a group of friends founded Justice for Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, a 501c(3) non-profit organized to honor her slain husband Danny's memory and to combat the propaganda of those seeking to free the man who murdered him. Maureen wanted to find a way to place a silver lining around Danny’s death, so she expanded the mission of Justice for Daniel Faulkner. “So many people needlessly lose their lives in my home town and after the initial news buzz their families are left alone to pick up the pieces. Besides offering moral support, we wanted to actually help them in some way and we determined that the best thing we could do was to assist their children in furthering their education. We founded the educational fund to help the survivors and to let them know that as survivors of murder they are part of an extended family.”
Through the Daniel Faulkner Educational Fund, Maureen Faulkner now makes scholarship grants to the children of murder victims and those who have been severely disabled by an attempted murder in the City of Philadelphia.
