Advancing Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Our work centers on one goal: driving discovery to defeat neurodegenerative diseases. The Silvi Foundation directs funding toward pioneering studies, early-stage innovation, and collaborative research that move potential treatments from the lab toward real-world impact.
We focus our support on:
Backing early innovation that advances new approaches to diagnosis and treatment
Investing in initiatives with the potential to transform patient outcomes
Building momentum toward a world free from neurodegenerative disease
A Generational Family Story. Focused on Progress.
The Silvi Foundation was born from a personal experience with neurodegenerative disease. Larry Silvi Sr., founder of Silvi Materials, and his wife Rose both battled and eventually succumbed to Alzheimer’s, losses that left a lasting impact on the Silvi family and shaped their commitment to supporting meaningful research. What began as a personal experience became a clear sense of responsibility: to help advance understanding, prevention, treatment, and care for others facing the same challenges. Today, the Silvis carry that mission forward alongside the business Larry Silvi Sr. built. Now guided by the third generation of family leadership, Silvi Materials remains grounded in the same values of long-term thinking, accountability, and service. The Silvi Foundation is how the family extends those values beyond the company, turning a deeply personal story into action that supports patients, families, and scientific progress.
