Welcome to The Whitney Foundation's web site! A vision and a two million dollar endowment started The Whitney Foundation in 1999 as a non-profit public foundation. At this point in our history, we realize to continue the great work that we are doing, we need to reach out and join with partners to benefit the community.

Mission Statement:

Based on the Scriptural Message to "share with others what has been given to you," The Whitney Foundation will reach out to assist those persons with geographic areas where housing, health and education obstacles impede the achievement of personal goals. The Whitney Foundation is not about charitable giving, but dedicated to assisting others in bringing about positive change in their lives so that they can become self-sustaining, confident and productive members of society.


Our focus is to seek areas that often "fall through the cracks" of traditional grants. Special emphasis is given to projects which:

  • The constituents are actively involved in the work and benefit from the programs of the organization.
  • The project promotes diversity, addresses inequality, oppression and discrimination within the organization as well as in the larger society.
  • The organization can demonstrate how their work addresses and attempts to change the underlying systemic root causes of the problem.
  • The proposal expresses how it fits with the mission of The Whitney Foundation.
  • The evaluation process clearly connects to project goals and objectives.
