Funding Creativity, Fostering Community
Our Commitment to the Arts
The White Family Foundation is dedicated to nurturing the arts by providing essential funding to creative projects and championing artistic expression. Our commitment is rooted in the belief that art has the power to transform lives and communities. We actively support organizations and cultural initiatives that push boundaries and inspire change, ensuring that creativity thrives in every corner of society.
The Power of Artistic Enrichment
Why Art Matters in Our Communities
Artistic enrichment plays a pivotal role in shaping vibrant, resilient communities. By investing in the arts, we not only preserve cultural heritage but also stimulate economic growth, enhance education, and promote social cohesion. The White Family Foundation believes that art is a universal language that bridges divides and fosters understanding, making it an indispensable asset to society. Through our efforts, we aim to create a world where art is accessible to all, inspiring generations to come.

A Personal Message
What began as a heartfelt mission by the White family has grown into a foundation rooted in generosity, community, and lasting impact. While our board has since expanded, the heart of our work remains personal. In a letter from John White Jr. and his wife, Liz White, you’ll hear how their family’s desire to give back became the driving force behind the White Family Foundation.
