Genesis Inspiration Foundation Celebrates Award for Impactful Youth Arts Education Campaign

Genesis Inspiration Foundation Garners Social Media Recognition

On October 2, 2025, the Genesis Inspiration Foundation was awarded the prestigious accolade in the Brand Awareness category at PR Daily's 2025 Social Media & Digital Awards. This recognition was earned due to their pioneering social media campaign aimed at promoting youth arts education through the transformative power of the arts.

The Foundation, which allocates grants to facilitate arts programming across the United States, is dedicated to connecting young individuals with the opportunities that artistic expression provides. Their recent campaign celebrated a milestone achievement of $10 million raised over the years, all aimed at fostering creativity among children in various communities.

Incorporating compelling storytelling and engaging content, the social media initiative successfully showcased the influence of youth arts organizations. It not only highlighted the importance of arts access in shaping individuals' potential but also mirrored the Foundation's mission to inspire creativity and broaden educational opportunities for children in under-resourced areas.

John Guastaferro, the Executive Director of Genesis Inspiration Foundation, expressed his pride in the team's accomplishments, stating, “This award celebrates the incredible impact that collaboration and creativity can achieve. Our social media campaign brought the inspirational stories of youth arts organizations to the forefront, spotlighting how they introduce children to a new world of possibilities.”

In addition to this award, the Foundation received two Honorable Mentions in the Social Media Campaign category at PR Daily's awards as well as the Nonprofit Communications Awards. This further cements their status as a leader in utilizing social platforms for community engagement and awareness.

The Genesis Inspiration Foundation was established in 2018 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the goal of enhancing educational outcomes. Since its inception, the Foundation has disbursed over $13 million in grants to support various arts programs within museums, schools, and community organizations nationwide. This substantial investment has played a crucial role in delivering engaging arts experiences to children, allowing them to discover their artistic talents and capabilities.

In addition to the awards for the Foundation, Genesis Motor America earned a notable Honorable Mention for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives through a collaboration with the U.S. Soccer Foundation. This project has successfully transformed underutilized areas into state-of-the-art mini soccer pitches that offer children safe spaces to engage in physical activity while developing vital life skills and building confidence.

The partnership has already seen mini-pitches constructed in Florida, New York, California, and Georgia since its launch in 2024.

As the Foundation looks to the future, they remain committed to their mission of enhancing youth experiences through the arts. With the unwavering support of Genesis and its partners, they continue to introduce children to new possibilities, fostering a future where creativity and innovation thrive.
