OUR MISSION
The mission of Value Culture is to produce and support artistic, educational, charitable, and spiritual events to inspire individuals to give back to their communities.
Value Culture removes barriers to arts, culture, and philanthropy.
We want to partner with you. We want to empower you. Whether you’re a for-profit business, individual, or a non profit organization, we want to help you achieve your community, cultural, and philanthropic goals. We are a unique non profit organization created to help non profit organizations.
We source independent venues, vendors, and talent local to where we produce events and programs as much as possible. We offer internships and event jobs to kids from at risk neighborhoods and those lacking opportunity. We amplify voices of the minority.
Major cities across the USA have becoming transient hubs with local identities and values lost amongst the new masses. Rather than civic, community, and cultural growth, the new populations are encompassed with their own professional growth, experiences, and wealth. On top of that, the continued threat of Covid 19 is not just taken lives, it’s also wiping out many of our favorite cultural gathering spaces, and threatening our cultural institutions.
We’d like you to be apart of it. Now. Thank you.

Value Culture beach clean ups were popular during the pandemic. With federal beach clean ups cancelled, Value Culture organized safe beach clean ups, hauling away hundreds of pounds of trash in these socially distant activities. This ‘Superhero’ Halloween Beach clean up was blessed with sunshine and warm weather, plus tons of Ghirardelli Chocolate for costumed cleaners at the end of the clean up to take home with Halloween trick or treating effectively cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020, but not the spirit!
