Vincent Salierno was on the board of directors of the Columbus Hospital in New Jersey. His family valued and continued his philanthropy. After his death in January 1973, his widow Rose established the Vincent Salierno Scholarship Fund with Foundation to provide scholarships to students in the field of optometry. Over the past 30 years, more than one hundred scholarships have been awarded.
