The Leo Buscaglia Foundation aims to build community spirit by fostering opportunities for people to help others. Established as a public charity in 1984, its core mission emphasizes the importance of nurturing and supporting activities that encourage a sense of giving within communities.
The grant program offered by the Leo Buscaglia Foundation is designed with a broad goal of supporting initiatives that foster the spirit of giving. The Foundation evaluates grant requests biannually, focusing on projects within the domains of the Arts and Humanities, Health and Human Services, and Education. However, it remains open to considering proposals in other areas, provided they align with the goal of promoting the spirit of giving. Projects that clearly reflect the applicant's specific goals and match the Foundation's purpose of encouraging community spirit through giving are prioritized.
Preference will be given to organizations that heavily incorporate volunteer efforts.
