"I am focusing and prioritizing on dance, which is the most neglected art form whose benefits to mankind
goes far beyond entertainment" Glorya Kaufman
The Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation is a private foundation that provides funding and support
to non-profit organizations in the United States.
Philanthropist Glorya Kaufman has over the years funded a broad spectrum of projects ranging from pediatric
mobile eye care to Glorya Kaufman Hall at UCLA: the core of her giving being programs and facilities that
directly affect Children at-risk.
In 2008 the Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation was established, deeply seated in Mrs. Kaufman’s love for
dance and her belief that Dance is a tool that is restorative to the mind, body and spirit of people.
The Glorya Kaufman dance foundation is participating in many community projects, among them:
- Providing dance teachers for perpetuity to an art school in South central called "Inner City Arts"
- Creating a dance facility at the Mar-Vista Hispanic family center
- Engaging children to participate in Alvin Ailey dancing summer camps at the Music Center
- Giving rise to a dancing studio at the New York Julliard School
- Bringing the best dancing performers in the world to the "GK presents" at the Los Angeles Music Center.
Dance is being recognized as a tool to support health programs for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease
and many forms of psychological and emotional ills.
The Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation is supporting that effort with programs such as Creating Health
through Movement at City of Hope.
