About The Van Zyle Endowment for the Arts

The Van Zyle Endowment for the Arts exists to reduce barriers for people experiencing homelessness by combining near-term relief with durable pathways to housing and income.

We prioritize projects that are practical, measurable, and replicable. Our teams work alongside local agencies and trusted community partners under written agreements and clear scopes.

Approach

• Human-centered: respect, safety, and informed consent in every interaction.
• Evidence-based: data-informed design and public reporting of outcomes.
• Partnership-driven: city departments, service providers, employers, and volunteers.
