There are many nonprofits, often working on similar issues, but the societal challenges persist. Our foundation seeks to build a collaborative effort among celebrities, luxury brands, their fans, and customers to raise awareness of issues -- in partnership with the nonprofits. It's a different kind of approach that can build efficiencies and collective action.
About Us
Founder Rae Alexandra Scheer believed that her more than a decade of experience in luxury fashion could be used to have a positive impact on the world around her. It was her father’s diagnosis of terminal cancer (Glioblastoma) in February 2019 that propelled her to act on that desire as she understood the preciousness of each day and sought to give her life more meaning in service to others. The Scheer Heart Foundation invites others to embrace the word origin of philanthropy from the Greek – philos (loving) and anthropos (people).
The Foundation honors Rob’s courage by investing in glioblastoma research to help give families access to the latest innovations in treatment. And we honor his passionate work to improve life for all people, expanding his legacy by supporting organizations that address issues such as food insecurity, education, physical and mental health, disaster/environmental impacts, and homelessness. Children and adults faced with limited resources are undernourished, resulting in trouble concentrating in school and at work; they face physical and mental health issues; they are disproportionately impacted by disasters and environmental factors; and not having a permanent address impacts their ability to go to work and to school. Serious illnesses such as glioblastoma drastically amplify these challenges. The intersection of these issues requires the type of collaboration the Foundation is championing.
We dedicate ourselves to raising funds so individuals can work toward healthy, stable lives by facilitating collaboration among organizations and high visibility individuals to help advocate for collective action and system-level change. We envision harnessing celebrities’ influence to become catalysts to support community-change initiatives, creating a movement for good.
