GENESIS INSPIRATION FOUNDATION AWARDS $3 MILLION TO YOUTH ARTS PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES

NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 – Genesis Inspiration Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to supporting education through the arts, announced its plans to award $3 million in grants to 83 youth arts organizations in 2025. This year’s commitment brings the foundation’s lifetime total giving to over $13 million. Each year, Genesis Inspiration Foundation supports youth arts programming across the country to help improve access and promote creativity, particularly in under-resourced communities.

“Every child deserves to experience a quality education in the arts,” said Randy Parker, president and CEO, Genesis Motor North America. “At Genesis, we understand how impactful art is to young minds—nurturing creativity, providing an outlet for self-expression, and promoting academic success. Genesis Inspiration Foundation is proud to continue its investment in youth arts programming throughout the United States.”

Since 2018, Genesis Inspiration Foundation has supported youth arts education programs across the nation, with this year’s commitment bringing the foundation’s lifetime total giving to over $13 million. For every vehicle sold at a Genesis retailer, a portion goes to the Genesis Inspiration Foundation. With additional support from Genesis Motor America, the foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations. Partner organizations serve children in underserved communities through a wide array of art disciplines, including visual and performing arts, among others.

“We are thrilled to announce another year of supporting organizations whose work truly transforms the lives of the children,” said Walter Dawson, board chair, Genesis Inspiration Foundation. “At Genesis Inspiration Foundation, we celebrate the incredible benefits art has on students such as supporting their emotional, cognitive, and personal development. We are proud to play a part in helping more children participate in these impactful programs.”

The complete list of grant recipients will be announced later this year.
