Several sitting MPs and some former MPs have had bills presented to the legislature to incorporate as Acts of Parliament foundations set up in their names.

The bills presented in recent months are for the incorporation of foundations such as the S. B. Nawinna Foundation, Sisira Jayakody Siyapatha Foundation, Rajitha Senaratne Foundation, Arundika Fernando Relief Services and Godfrey Fernando Memorial Foundation, Hizbullah Foundation, Susantha Punchinilame Foundation, Roshan Ranasinghe Janasahana Foundation and the Sujeewa Senasinghe Foundation.

There are also bills pending to set up foundations in the name of two late MPs — Bertie Premalal Dissanayaka and M.K.D.S. Gunawardena.

The objectives of all the foundations are welfare activities for people of their respective electorates but once approved by Parliament they are also allowed to raise funds and engage in other activities.
