Where Art Creates Opportunity

The White Family Foundation supports nonprofit arts and education programs that enrich lives and strengthen our communities.

Our Legacy of Support

Throughout our history, The White Family Foundation has given to a variety of organizations. Over time, we’ve narrowed our focus to support programs in the arts — our true passion — while remembering the many causes we’ve had the privilege to support along the way.
