The funds purpose is to support the work on the prevention of suicides and provide support to families and survivors of suicide. The fund is established in memory of Orri Ómarsson who was born on 3 June 1993 and died on  30 January in 2010. When Orri died he was a student at the Menntaskólinn i Reykjavik (Reykjavik 6th form college) and played football with the FH football club. 

Orri Omarsson memorial fund has for example supported the establishment of the web site sjalfsvig.is (suicide.is). The fund has also contributed to the translation and publication of the book "Dying to be free" by Beverly Cobain. The book is a guide for the survivors after a suicide occurs, but it is also a suggested read for those who struggle with suicidal thoughts and their families http://www.bokafelagid.is/products/thra-eftir-fresli. 

The fund aims to continue its objective since the fact is that every month 3-4 persons die by suicide in Iceland alone!
