Focus

The Foundation supports non-profit organizations whose programs/projects or services use art or artistic elements to enrich and strengthen their constituents or community.

ELIGIBILITY

Access to the Arts in all forms is an important tool of a rich and vibrant community. The White Family Foundation supports non-profit organizations whose programs/projects or services expose under-served populations to the Arts in order to:

  • Empower a community.
  • Develop cultural awareness.
  • Provide economic benefit.
  • Educate youth.
  • Develop leadership skills.
  • Improve individual well-being.

Submissions

Review the Guidelines for submission carefully. Applicable organizations are asked to submit a Letter of Inquiry to the Board of Directors of the White Family Foundation. Submissions will be reviewed by the Board of Directors at the Foundation’s third quarter meeting. Grant awards will be made by the end of the calendar year.

The foundation does not provide sponsorship for events, annual meetings, awards luncheons, golf tournaments, etc. Applicants should avoid sending requests to the Foundation to help meet those expenses.
