The Levitate FOundation

Cultivating a better future by creating and conserving access to music, art, and the outdoors

Who We Are:

Formally launched in 2023 as a culmination of Levitate’s commitment to community, the Levitate Foundation believes being in tune with nature and all things creative satisfies the soul, allowing you to live in the moment and lead an enriched life. In our increasingly digital and disconnected world, it has never been more important to tune in and to help others do the same. At the Levitate Foundation, we focus on keeping the sacred craft of connecting to creativity, nature and community alive.

What We Do:

To date, the Levitate Foundation has launched three grant programs, awarding over $400,000 to creators, mentors, and community projects while providing more than 4,000 people with access to the arts and the outdoors. We’ve brightened over 350 summers through our signature Send a Kid to Camp program, issued more than $100,000 to creators, artists, and community leaders to bring community projects to life, and in 2025 launched the Emerging Artist Series—designed to help change the trajectory of emerging musicians’ and artists’ lives by expanding their audience and providing grants to propel their creative journeys forward.

The last two years have been a wonderful journey in giving back to the Levitate community. To date the Levitate foundation has launched three grant programs, awarding over $100k to creators and mentors, to complete community projects and provide over 1,000 people access to the arts and the outdoors. Through our signature “Send a Kid to Camp” program we’ve made over 170 summers by sending kiddos to camp at one of our partnered camp organizations.
