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.
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. Fast forward to 2025: thanks to your support we sent our 500th kid to camp, launched new grant programs to help keep over 1500 people engaged with the arts and the outdoors, and will change the trajectory of 14 Emerging Artist’s lives through the emerging artist series.
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 Levitate Foundation Backyard Ball.
The Levitate Foundation accepts requests and proactively seeks opportunities to support organizations 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 through our Community Grants. We’d love to hear your ideas – Mentors, Creators, Artists, Community Leaders and Outdoorsman with an impactful project in mind can learn more and apply below:
The Levitate Foundation serves the creative community by offering the two most important things emerging creators and blossoming talent are in need of: time and space – time to create freely and a space or a platform to display their craft, creating and substantiating their relationship with their audience.The Emerging Artist addresses these needs by awarding 10 Visual artists and 4 Musicians an opportunity to display their work in front of thousands and $5k – $10K grants that will allow them to create freely and further pursue their craft.
We are here to help local schools and non-profits crush their fundraising goals by offering product and ticket donations to be used to be used for raffles, auctions or other fundraising purposes.
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.
The Levitate Foundation cultivates a better future by creating and conserving access to music, art and the outdoors.
