Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation Cornelia T.
Bailey Foundation About the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation Established in 2007, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation is dedicated to advancing the arts, education, and innovative initiatives that enrich lives through nature and the sciences.
Founded by Mrs. Cornelia T. Bailey during her lifetime, the Foundation stands as a tribute to her philanthropic spirit and enduring legacy. Mrs. Bailey was deeply committed to supporting organizations that promote the arts, in all forms, expanding educational opportunities, serving veterans, and driving progress in medical research.
Today, we proudly continue her vision—investing in programs that seek to inspire, heal, and uplift communities. The Foundation is committed to equal opportunity. We do not make grant decisions on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
We ensure that our grantees comply with all applicable federal, state, and local equal opportunity laws. When evaluating grant applications, we prioritize programs with the potential to make a meaningful and measurable impact—especially those that improve lives on a broad scale. We are dedicated to empowering organizations that promote the arts and develop programs designed to inspire, educate, and engage.
Our vision is a world where the arts are not viewed as a luxury or elective, but as a vital part of every individual’s development and well-being. Through strong community partnerships, we harness the transformative power of the arts to elevate educational outcomes, foster creativity, and enhance quality of life.
We believe in the synergy that arises when artists, educators, advocates, and creatives from all disciplines—musicians, museum professionals, actors, writers, and teachers—come together and collaborate. It is scientifically proven that the arts play a fundamental role in youth development, nurturing healthy brain function, social growth, and emotional resilience.
Aligned with our mission, we also support initiatives that protect and utilize nature as a source of enrichment and healing. Conservation and beautification efforts are not only essential to environmental health but also to individual and community well-being. Research consistently shows that time spent in nature supports both physical and mental health, especially for children.
We are committed to partnering with organizations that recognize the vital connection between a thriving natural environment and a thriving population. Equally important is our dedication to supporting veterans. We recognize the sacrifices made by servicemen and women and believe they deserve meaningful pathways to recovery, healing, and renewed purpose.
That’s why we invest in programs that provide therapeutic support, service animals, respite opportunities, and community-centered initiatives that help veterans and their families thrive. Veterans’ well-being is not only a moral imperative but also a cornerstone of a strong, resilient community.
As a charitable foundation, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that drive progress, improve lives, and create lasting, positive impact across the arts, the environment, education, and veteran support.
