The Vito Corleone Foundation was a foundation founded by Michael Corleone and chaired by his daughter Mary Corleone, who was more of a front for its criminal activities. It was a charitable organization which was particularly dedicated to reviving Sicily. In 1979, the foundation gave archbishop Gilday a check for a 100 million dollars in the name of Vito Corleone, to assist in the resurrection of Sicily. It also received a donation from Don Altobello for one millon Dollars so he could attach his name to the foundation.
