About The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation
Our mission is to promote positive change in peoples
lives and to build and enhance the communities in which they live.
Our Foundation has an especially strong interest in supporting innovative
endeavors leading to better circumstances for low-income youth and
their families.
How can we help create positive and lasting change? Where can we most effectively invest our resources
and ourselves to increase access to opportunity, build community,
and connect with others to help create the change we seek?
Those questions are at the heart of our journey as a family
foundation.
Formed in 1995, The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation is focused
on enhancing education, preserving greenspace, sustaining the
arts and sparking collaboration among its community partners.
