GENESIS INSPIRATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2024 GRANT WINNERS

• Genesis Inspiration Foundation donated $3 million in grants to support youth arts education at 50 organizations nationwide

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis Inspiration Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, announced its 2024 grant recipients. Annually, the organization donates millions of dollars to organizations across the country to support youth arts education. This year, Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded $3 million in grants to 50 organizations.

"When children are actively engaged in any art form – whether it's dancing, drawing, sculpting, or more – it unlocks creativity, it inspires, and it leads to greater achievement inside and outside the classroom," said John Guastaferro, executive director, Genesis Inspiration Foundation. "There is nothing that compares to a quality arts education, yet this is something that many kids don't have access to. Genesis Inspiration Foundation is dedicated to bringing arts programming to local communities because we believe all children deserve to experience the benefits that the arts can have in their lives."

Genesis Inspiration Foundation was founded in 2018 to help address the needs of quality art education in communities throughout the nation. For every vehicle sold at a Genesis retailer, a portion goes to the Genesis Inspiration Foundation to support youth arts education, particularly in underserved communities. With additional support from Genesis Motor America, this year's commitment brings the foundation's lifetime total giving to $10 million.

Art is shown to have a multitude of benefits for children, including supporting emotional and cognitive development, reducing stress, and improving academic outcomes. With the variety of art disciplines, Genesis Inspiration Foundation supports different types of art programs with the goal to reach as many children as possible and expand the transformational impact of the arts on youth.
