At Genesis of Smithtown, we believe driving a Genesis isn’t just about elegance, performance, and innovation - it’s about being part of something bigger. Every Genesis vehicle on the road helps make a difference in the lives of young people across the country, thanks to the incredible work of the Genesis Inspiration Foundation. What Is the Genesis Inspiration Foundation? Founded in 2018, this nonprofit organization is dedicated to transforming the lives of youth - particularly those in underserved communities - by expanding access to the arts. From music education and visual arts to dance and performance programs, the foundation partners with schools and local organizations to ensure creativity has a place in every child’s life. The Impact So Far To date, the Genesis Inspiration Foundation has donated over $13 million to arts education programs nationwide. In 2025 alone, they’ve committed $3 million in funding to support 83 youth-focused arts organizations - the largest grant round yet. From New York to Los Angeles, the foundation is bringing creative opportunity to the next generation of artists, innovators, and leaders. Why It Matters Studies consistently show that arts education boosts academic achievement, improves mental well-being, and fosters essential skills like confidence and communication. Unfortunately, many schools and community programs lack the funding to keep these programs alive. That’s where Genesis - and you - step in. How Genesis of Smithtown Helps When you choose Genesis of Smithtown, you’re not just selecting a luxury vehicle; you’re supporting a movement. A portion of proceeds from every new Genesis vehicle helps fund this important initiative. Your next drive could help send a child to their first art class or put a paintbrush in the hands of a future visionary. Let’s Inspire Together We’re proud to represent a brand that’s investing in something truly meaningful. To learn more about the Genesis Inspiration Foundation and its mission, click here.
