The Glassman Foundation was created in 2002 by social entrepreneur, Rodney Glassman with the goal of raising funds for organizations devoted to helping children in Southern Arizona gain new experiences in the arts, recreation and education. The Glassman Foundation labors to promote positive community involvement in Southern Arizona youth through support of organizations committed to improving the quality of life for children.

The Glassman Foundation is dedicated to raising resources for non-profit organizations that provide services to youth throughout the Tucson community. The Glassman Foundation has teamed with several Southern Arizona groups that serve children to launch events such as the annual An Evening of Love Songs, the Glassman Foundation Youth Expo, the Glassman Foundation Gentleman’s Roast, the South of 45 Breakfast Club, KB Home Tucson Putt Putt Open, and the Ante Up for Kids Poker Tournament , and various other events.

The Glassman Foundation is committed to being a catalyst for community giving, organizational collaboration and social entrepreneurship.
