one would expect to be associated with that creep.

Ariadne Getty Foundation

Getty founded the Fuserna Foundation in 2004, later changing its name to the Ariadne Getty Foundation.[12][16][17] She currently serves as its president and executive director.[1][18] The foundation was formed to revitalize existing charities and individual charitable projects that were failing in their objectives due to financial constraints and/or lack of exposure and publicity.[19]

The foundation is a major donor to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.[1] In October 2017 it held a benefit concert that raised over $100,000 to help prevent bullying of LGBTQ youth.[20] At the 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos Getty announced that her foundation would be giving $15 million to GLAAD to reverse the erosion of LGBTQ acceptance[21] and help move the global LGBTQ community forward.[22][23] A survey by the Harris Poll and GLAAD reported that LGBTQ acceptance in the United States had declined for the first time since the poll was first conducted.[20][24][25] In 2018 Getty fulfilled her promise, donating $15 million for the GLAAD Media Institute, which seeks to spread LGBTQ acceptance by training journalists and people in the Hollywood film and television industries how to advocate for and tell the stories of LGBTQ people.[6][12][26] The Ariadne Getty Foundation and GLAAD partnered in hosting the panel Progress in Peril: How Business, Philanthropy and Media Can Lead to Achieving 100% Acceptance for LGBTQ People at the World Economic Forum.[23][27][28]

Additional partners of the foundation include the David Lynch Foundation, Family Equality Council, San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, Transgender Law Center, UNICEF Next Generation, United Nations Foundation, and the Washington Blade.[29]
