ABOUT US
The WVI Dolphin Foundation inspires those who are fortunate to pivot toward “give back” – wherein they can utilize their prestige, wealth, and power to make a disproportionate impact
to uplift culture and the human condition.
We use the funds raised to support underserved and Blue and Gold Star youth via our Leadership Mentor Program and to Veterans who receive our scholarships. We also partner with small charities aligned with us for specific projects and channel donations to their causes.
Our Team and Advisory BoardsOur SponsorsWEALTH AND VALUES INITIATIVE: OUR HISTORY
Our organization began with a Wealth and Values Initiative to support the successful intergenerational transfer of legacy family wealth and values.
With an emphasis on preparing Legacy Families and their businesses for intergenerational, international, and intercultural success, WVI’s unique programs have provided thought leadership and best practices, high level peer-to-peer networking experiences, groundbreaking Next Gen programs, and exposure to compelling co-investment opportunities.
This has given our participants the opportunity to make an impact at family, local, national, and global levels as they move from success to significance.
We have now evolved and create more than projects – but experiences that exhibit the compelling need for wealth and values to extend through future generation leaders.

We strive to embody the following Dolphin code of conduct:
Give first and keep giving
Earn Trust with every touch
Add value even if there is no Transaction
Be a Serial Connector for others
