Sustaining Modern-Day Heroes: Alex von Furstenberg Supports Law Enforcers

Alex von Furstenberg is well-known for his business achievements and his philanthropy. Through the years, he has accomplished numerous philanthropic works due in large part to his involvement with The Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation or the DVFF, where he serves as Director. The DVFF is a private family foundation that supports organizations in the community building, education, human rights, arts, health, and environment sectors. The foundation aims to positively impact the world by strengthening communities and improving the quality of the life of the people they support.

Among the organizations that benefit from Mr. von Furstenberg’s generosity are the Beverly Hills Police Officers Association (BHPOA) and the NYC Police Foundation.

In 2010, Alex von Furstenberg pledged $25,000 in support of the Beverly Hills Police Officers Association’s 22nd Annual Black & White Ball, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Proceeds from the charity ball will be used to support the BHPOA’s Medical Trust Fund, which provides medical benefits to retired officers and their families, as well as financial support to active personnel during periods of injury or illness.

Mr. von Furstenberg is also very supportive of the NYC Police Foundation, raising funds in behalf of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The foundation aims to promote excellence in the NYPD and improve public safety in New York City through programs designed to help the NYPD keep pace with the changing times.

“I am proud to contribute to these very worthy causes,” said Alex von Furstenberg. “These officers have dedicated their lives to improving and protecting our community and are deserving of our continued support.”
