Honoring A Peace Wish...
In recognition of both the Whitehead and von Trapp family's aspirations for peace, despite their military involvement, the foundation annually chooses a deserving recipient for our Peace Award. We select and donate to a deserving organization making a difference towards peace.


An essential component of supporting peace is the promotion of humanity's shared connection and well-being. We look for organizations making a positive impact towards stabilizing areas of conflict, helping to prevent conflict, or encouraging overall peace-filled lives.

“It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.” –Aristotle

Ways You Can Help

Peace Award

​​von Trapp Family and CARE History
Over 70 years ago, the
Trapp Family Austrian Relief Inc. sent thousands of tons of aid to post-World War II Austria with the assistance of the newly formed Cooperative for American Remittance to Europe (CARE). CARE at the time consisted of 22 American charities working to help with post-World War II relief efforts for millions in need of food and supplies. Today CARE International has become the Cooperative for Assistance & Relief Everywhere, leading one of the largest efforts against poverty and providing relief and assistance on the basis of need, regardless of race, creed, or nationality.
