In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C31C7QvvZpw/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">follow-up update</a> on Instagram, the foundation warned against engaging with the fake website or sharing the fraudulent post on social media. The foundation also urged followers to report impostor accounts and to only donate through MatthewPerryFoundation.org. 
The Matthew Perry Foundation is a donor-advised fund established in November 2023 to honor Matthew Perry’s commitment to helping individuals struggling with addiction.
