Who We Are

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” – Desmond Tutu

OUR VISION

We envision a world in which all people have access to the support, healthcare and resources needed to actualize their highest potential.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Gatsby Showcase Foundation is to empower historically marginalized groups to achieve economic independence through education, business development tools, a supportive network, and access to quality healthcare.

We are committed to addressing disparities in healthcare access and equity, particularly within underserved communities. Through our initiatives, we promote inclusivity, equity, and the well-being of individuals, ensuring that all people, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to thrive.

OUR APPROACH

At the Gatsby Showcase Foundation, we take a holistic and inclusive approach to empowering historically marginalized groups. We recognize that each individual faces unique barriers and opportunities, and we tailor our support to meet their specific needs. Through collaborative partnerships, culturally sensitive programming, and a commitment to equity and justice, we strive to create a supportive ecosystem that fosters economic independence and long-term success.

OUR HISTORY

The formation of the Gatsby Showcase Foundation was inspired by our inaugural Gatsby Showcase Gala in 2021 when a crucial need to create change and respond to systemic barriers was identified. In addition to the fashion experience of the Gatsby Showcase, there was a missed opportunity tap into an affluent demographic in attendance to generate awareness, create interest, and build engagement in the pressing needs of our most vulnerable populations. And so, Gatsby Showcase foundation was born! In 2022, The Gatsby Showcase Foundation will present The Laura Fote Award for the first time. Laura Fote Award recognizes, honors and celebrates emerging entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstanding vision, leadership and inspiration in spite of challenges and barriers to make a significant social impact and/or become successful in their businesses.
