GENESIS AND GENESIS INSPIRATION FOUNDATION ADVANCE STEAM EDUCATION IN COASTAL GEORGIA

SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18, 2026 – Genesis and the Genesis Inspiration Foundation continued their commitment to empowering the next generation of innovators by supporting a range of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) programs across coastal Georgia. Through Genesis Gives—the corporate social responsibility initiative of Genesis Motor America—students at Oglethorpe Charter School participated in an immersive STEAM workshop produced by Child Creativity Lab. In addition, Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded grants to Savannah Children’s Theatre and Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club to expand access to high-quality youth arts programming.

Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to Savannah Children’s Theatre, bringing its total support for the organization to $75,000 since last year. Founded in 2004, Savannah Children’s Theatre fosters creativity and collaboration through live performance and arts education. The organization offers programming ranging from creative dramatics for pre-K to 12th grade, to musical theatre dance, aerial arts, and opportunities for children and guardians to perform together. Funding from the Genesis Inspiration Foundation will help expand access to these programs, allowing more young people to experience the power of storytelling and live theatre.

“The long-term effects of Genesis Inspiration Foundation’s generosity will be felt by generations of young artists,” said Kelie Miley, artistic director & founder, Savannah Children’s Theatre. “We are honored and grateful for its support of the performing arts and our mission to inspire, educate, and entertain. Thanks to its financial contributions to the arts, Savannah Children’s Theatre can continue helping PreK through 12th graders reach their full creative potential.”

Genesis Inspiration Foundation also awarded a $25,000 grant to Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club, bringing total contributions to the organization to $150,000 since 2023. The grant will help expand the Club’s summer arts programming by offering hands-on projects in sewing, textile design, and multimedia studies. Members will have the opportunity to explore creativity through fabric, digital storytelling, photography, and mixed-media art while building confidence and learning new technical skills. Programs like these help youth discover their own artistic voices while gaining exposure to creative career pathways.
