Josh Groban’s Find Your Light Foundation Donates $1.5 Million Toward Arts Education

The Find Your Light Foundation (FYLF), founded by performer Josh Groban, awarded over $1.5 Million to 257 nonprofit organizations in 40 states in its most recent grant cycle. This grantmaking will help ensure access to high-quality arts education for over 600,000 K-12 youth. 

Grantees include organizations working with youth in theatre, dance, music, photography, visual art, and creative writing. Grants are selected through a competitive review process, and funding comes from the Groban family and supporters of FYLF from across the nation. For more information, visit the website.

“In these turbulent times we need the arts more than ever to help find connection and joy," said FYLF Founder and Board Member Josh Groban. "These amazing organizations reflect the incredible work being done by teaching artists and educators everywhere to inspire students to explore their creative talents and dreams – especially in neighborhoods and cities where arts funding doesn’t always reach those students with the greatest need. I’m honored that our Foundation can contribute toward this important goal.”

FYLF Foundation Executive Director Jeffrey Dollinger added, “This year’s pool of grant recipients was selected from the largest number of applications for support that we’ve ever received. These organizations represent excellence in the delivery of arts education programs that truly change lives and span the nation from Homer, Alaska to El Paso, Texas and from Wilmington, Delaware to Oakland, California. We are grateful for the support of so many friends, donors, and fans who helped make this extraordinary year of grantmaking possible.”
