The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Announces Grants to Restore and Beautify Urban Environments

In support of its mission to preserve the natural heritage that distinguishes great urban centers, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation announced grants on September 25, 2008 to three organizations—Hermann Park Conservancy in Houston, Parkways Foundation in Chicago, and The Vizcayans in Miami—for the restoration of parks and gardens in their individual cities, totaling $2,750,000. These grants expand the Foundation’s urban parks program that originated with support for New York City’s parks through the Battery Conservancy and Friends of the High Line and now includes parks in other major cities, as well.
Hermann Park Conservancy receives a grant for The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Bridge at the newly redesigned Lake Plaza in Hermann Park. Parkways Foundation receives a grant for the creation of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Celebration Garden in Chicago’s Grant Park. The Vizcayans, on behalf of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, receives a grant for the restoration of the Sutri Fountain and the garden in which it resides.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the celebrated jewelry and glass designer, was
born the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. His remarkable
career designing jewelry, windows and decorative glass spanned 57 years including
his tenure with L.C. Tiffany & Associates Artists, the Tiffany Glass Company, Tiffany
Studios, TIffany Furnaces, and L.C. Tiffany Furnaces. In 1902 he became Tiffany &
Co.'s first Design Director, creating fantastic jewelry designs inspired both by
nature and the art of other cultures. His patent for opalescent window glass in 1881
and his commissions for Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt and many others earned
him an international reputation. His work has been honored by museums and
treasured by collectors around the world.
