About The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation
Our mission is to promote positive change in people’s 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.
