Launched at the United Nations Youth Forum 2025, the Vanderbilt-Daxsen Arts & Heritage Fund is a global initiative founded by philanthropist and entrepreneur Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin and cultural investor David Xavier Sánchez, also known as David Daxsen.
A descendant of the Vanderbilt legacy, Consuelo is a singer, actress, entrepreneur, and co-founder of SohoMuse, the global networking platform for creative professionals.
Our fund is designed to bridge the gap between creative talent and access to opportunity, especially for young creators from underserved communities. Through public-private partnerships, we provide capital, visibility, and expert guidance across key areas:
Advancing art, heritage & civilization with global partners, museums & cultural diplomacy.
