While many are skeptical about the motives of American art philanthropy in saving the arts, it has somehow helped support the blood flow of art preservation organizations. Art philanthropy is crucial because it has paved the way for struggling American artists, dancers, singers, and writers have the world recognize the valuable talents they have.
Alex von Furstenberg is actively involved in a variety of philanthropic endeavors. He is the Director and Secretary of The Diller – von Furstenberg Family Foundation and serves on the board of Friends of the High Line, a private non-profit partner of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

South West Surrey culture secretary Jeremy Hunt once said, "If you said to me what is the one thing I could do . . . that would make a real difference to the arts, I would say it would be to help foster an American-style culture of philanthropy to the arts and culture here in the UK."
Aside from his financial support for art organizations, Alex von Furstenberg has made several other contributions to non-profit projects that support the environment. Know more of his philanthropic efforts from this website.
