The Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation was established in the United States in 2021 to honor Vivienne Player’s memory and continue the lifelong mission she and Gary shared: to provide vulnerable children with a safe and nurturing environment in which to thrive.

After Vivienne’s passing, the Foundation took root in the US as a living tribute to her love and both Gary and Vivienne's unwavering belief in the power of lifting the next generation.

Gary and Vivienne firmly believed that the cycle of poverty can be broken by giving children access to safe homes, quality education, and essential health care. Today, the Foundation partners with organizations nationwide to turn that belief into reality—building a legacy of compassion and opportunity that embodies the very best of Gary and Vivienne’s values.

At its heart, the Foundation is a testament to their love—a love that extends far beyond their own family to embrace the most vulnerable children in our communities.

The Foundation’s mission is to support organizations whose work positively impacts the lives of these vulnerable children. The vision of the Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation is inspired by research which proves that intergenerational poverty can be broken in three key ways - education, health and housing.
