Our Mission
Building better community through the arts, culture, and education.
Our Team
Celebration Foundation was founded in 1996. We promote community engagement and are committed to the arts, culture, and education. Though Celebration Foundation has a small staff, a dedicated Board of Trustees and committed volunteers make it possible for Celebration Foundation to engage in the programs and initiatives we promote.
Celebration Foundation is made up of a results-oriented group of Celebration and Osceola County neighbors that identifies the needs in the community and takes action to address them. Through a variety of volunteer, civic, and community betterment programs, Celebration Foundation promotes a sense of belonging and nurtures a strong spirit of service.
We welcome all contributions, whether they be financial or by volunteering your time.
Celebration Foundation is a non-profit with 501(c)(3) status. To maintain our status, we have philanthropic obligations within Celebration and greater Osceola County. The Board of Trustees and staff of Celebration Foundation take its fiscal responsibility seriously and are good stewards of donated funds. Celebration Foundation also maintains a status with the Central Florida Foundation.
Feel free to contact our staff for any assistance.
