Denali Foundation Origins
Our Mission
Denali Foundation is dedicated to uplifting, empowering, and enriching underserved communities worldwide through the fusion of art and adventure.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world where every individual, regardless of economic circumstances, has access to the transformative power of art, education and adventure. Through our initiatives, including providing free art supplies to economically disadvantaged communities, as well as our Artist in Residence Program’s, partnership for scholarships to early childhood arts centers, and our founding partnership to create Sagarmatha Next Arts and sustainable facility in Nepal, we strive to eliminate barriers to creative expression and inspire people to explore new frontiers. Fostering inclusivity, innovation, and sustainability, we envision a future where creativity flourishes, communities thrive, and barriers are broken, leading to endless possibilities through the melding of art and adventure to bring a new view of educating ones mind.
What We Do
We work to empower underserved communities worldwide through a variety of initiatives. We provide free art supplies directly to schools, organizations, shelters, and hospitals. Our newest program is a children’s center in a small town of Idaho, where arts and education are desperately needed in the low income community. Additionally, we offer artist residencies and educational programs at the Sagarmatha Next Facility & Sustainable Park in Nepal. Our Artist in Residence Program provides artists with an opportunity to engage in projects centered around sustainability, environmental conservation, and working with upcycled materials. Through these programs, we aim to eliminate economic barriers to creative expression and inspire individuals to explore the intersection of art, education and adventure.
