Who We Are

Modeling the work of our founder, we believe in the power of bold ideas to create lasting change. The Wallis Annenberg Legacy Foundation advances projects that inspire compassion, expand opportunity, support strong leadership, and protect our shared future for people, our communities, animals, and the planet.

Founded in 2011

The Wallis Annenberg Legacy Foundation honors the enduring vision of philanthropist Wallis Annenberg, whose leadership redefined what it means to give with purpose. Building on a lifetime of commitment to community, culture, and conservation, the Legacy Foundation supports innovative projects across aging and longevity, conservation, animal welfare, education, the arts, and community access and civic partnerships.

Our work goes beyond funding by creating spaces and opportunities where lives are improved, communities are strengthened, and ideas can flourish. From reimagining aging and expanding access to the arts, to protecting vital ecosystems, caring for animals, and supporting vibrant civic life, each initiative reflects our belief that philanthropy can and should shape a better tomorrow.
