About

Our Mission: to cultivate a better future by creating and conserving access to music, art, and the outdoors.

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. 

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, mentors, and community projects while providing 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.

GET INVOLVED

Donate

In Levitate Foundation’s pilot seasons of Q1 & Q2 2023, we are supporting nearly one hundred underserved families so their children can attend summer camps and programs that inspire creativity and connection to nature. Results and impact will be shared in the 2023 Impact Report to be released and shared with all donors and through the Levitate Foundation website.

volunteer

Levitate Foundation’s Community Volunteer Group works together on projects to improve our communities and raise money for Foundation Projects. 2023 Events include volunteer fundraising efforts at the Levitate Music & Arts Festival, Community Beach Cleanups, and the inaugural Levitate Foundation Backyard Ball.

Grants + Support

The Levitate Foundation accepts requests and proactively seeks opportunities to supportorganizations and individuals who are working on projects that Levitate our communities. In particular, we support projects that are related to or directly inspire creativity and connection to nature.

join us for our annual backyard ball

The Levitate Foundation Backyard Ball features a tiki torch red carpet, live “unforgettable experiences” auction, live art + art gallery, delightful bites & booze from local chefs and distillers, and a very special live music experience. Most importantly, we’ll be sharing inspiration and raising money for the Levitate Foundation’s mission and pilot projects surrounding access to creativity and the outdoors within our community.
