Whitney Museum of American Art

About

The Whitney Museum of American Art was founded in 1930 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney with a specific mandate: to support American artists whose work was being overlooked by established institutions. It remains the only museum dedicated exclusively to American art and artists, with a permanent collection of more than 27,000 works by over 4,000 artists. The museum occupies a Renzo Piano–designed building in New York's Meatpacking District.

The Whitney's operations span curation, exhibition programming, education, visitor experience, accessibility, and community engagement. Its staff includes curators, educators, and visitor experience professionals working across these areas. The museum's signature programming includes the Whitney Biennial, a recurring survey of contemporary American art, alongside intimate gallery talks and educational programs designed for visitors of all ages. Free admission is offered on Friday evenings and on Second Sundays each month.

The institution operates on the premise that art and artists are essential to defining and challenging culture. It places institutional value on experimentation, risk-taking, and sustained dialogue between artists and audiences. For veterans and those transitioning out of uniformed service, the Whitney offers structured roles within a mission-driven organization where professional disciplines - from operations and security to education and administration - support a public-facing cultural institution with nearly a century of history.

Von Maur/Dry Goods

Von Maur is a privately held, family-owned department store chain founded in 1872 by German immigrant J.H.C. Petersen, who began with a rented 20-by-50-foot space in downtown Davenport, Iowa. Now in its fourth generation of family leadership under CEO Jim von Maur, the company operates 39 locations across the United States, remaining independent while much of the department store sector consolidated or went public. The company runs two retail formats: its flagship upscale department stores under the Von Maur name, and Dry Goods USA, a subsidiary focused on contemporary fashion. Von Maur stores are distinguished by a consistent set of in-store practices - live piano music, complimentary gift wrapping on every purchase, and free shipping - designed to emphasize service over transaction volume. The company's stated philosophy centers on creating memorable shopping experiences. Headquartered in Davenport, Iowa, Von Maur has grown steadily over 150 years without pursuing the aggressive expansion strategies common among larger retail competitors. Its privately held structure has allowed multigenerational continuity in both ownership and strategic direction. The company employs staff across store operations, corporate functions, and its Dry Goods USA subsidiary.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has been at the forefront of animal rescue and protection since 1866 as the first animal welfare organization in North America. For more than 150 years, they have been the leading voice in animal welfare, bringing the critical protection of animals to the forefront of society. Every year, their hands-on work directly impacts hundreds of thousands of animals, with their lasting solutions benefiting millions more. The ASPCA tackles the wide-ranging and complex challenges facing animals through innovative approaches, including providing vital veterinary care, responding to disasters, pioneering adoption and behavioral rehabilitation programs, conducting critical animal welfare research, training law enforcement and shelter professionals, and advocating for more effective laws. Since 2001, they have provided more than $200 million in grants to over 4,000 animal shelters, municipal agencies, rescue groups, universities, and other animal welfare organizations. Rather than directly operating a network of shelters, they collaborate with and offer training and support to hundreds of local agencies to advance animal welfare innovations and respond promptly to animal crises throughout the country.
