Alex von Furstenberg and the The Diller–von Furstenberg Family Foundation

With Alex von Furstenberg working actively with his stepfather Barry Diller, mother Diane von Furstenberg, and sister Tatiana von Furstenberg, the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation was able to provide the biggest donations ever granted to some cause-oriented projects in the United States. Proofs of these huge endowments were the $3-million gift for the new Off-Broadway home of Signature Theater Company and the $20-million donation to the High Line initiative, a public park rehabilitation project along the 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure in Manhattan, New York.
