The Cab Calloway Foundation
The Cab Calloway Foundation was formed in the year following the death of Cab Calloway. Under the direction of Lena Horne, Executive Chair, Nuffie Calloway, President, and Cabella Calloway Langsam, CEO, the Foundation began its mission, becoming a 501(c)(3) in 1995.
The Cab Calloway Foundation has advocated for, initiated, and funded many different projects and entities in its 25 year history.
The Foundation worked with the Cab Calloway School of the Arts in Wilmington, Delaware to found and support a Piano program, a Strings program, a summer program, create a lobby with a baby grand piano and to place images of Cab Calloway in both the lobby and the halls of the school.
Donating Cab Calloway’s artifacts and archives to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2013 capped several years of archiving and cataloging in preparation for finalizing a process resulting in the opening of the single most important repository of African American history and culture in the world. The foundation, of late, has been extending its reach to universities, schools, and community organizations in many states and Cuba by advocating for and sponsoring programs that benefit children, the arts, and the legacy of Cab Calloway.
The primary purposes and objectives of the Cab Calloway Foundation, a not for profit corporation, shall consist of: Providing benefit while informing and perpetuating the legacy of Cab Calloway, including, but not limited to, his contributions to the arts, history, and cultural diffusion. Sponsorship, development of, and advocacy for educational programs created to foster and promote cultural and ethnic diversity while inviting children, educators, and communities to shift the invitation to learning to a wider spectrum of intelligences, gifts, and interests.
