PhilARThropy
A new approach to arts philanthropy
“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
Building on our shared commitment to engaging diverse communities and audiences in the arts, we are pleased to introduce PhilARThropy, a new charitable organization with an innovative approach to sustaining arts education in schools to ensure a rich future for our children and the arts.
We seek seed funding to grow our initiative that will leverage donated works of arts to fund arts education programs in schools that need support or resources. This innovative, sustainable model will leverage partnerships with industry leaders including Goldman Sachs and Fieldpoint Private to ensure that schools have adequate funding to compensate art teachers into perpetuity.
Our Goals
- Launch an innovative philanthropic model to transform the landscape of arts education in under-resourced community schools
- Promote creative expression and foster a love for learning through the timeless power of art
- Create a legacy of artistic enrichment for future generations
