Our hope is to spread some goodness in the world

Founded by descendants, the Georg & Agathe Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the multi-generational legacy of Baron Captain Georg von Trapp and Agathe Gobertina Whitehead, parents of the seven von Trapp children portrayed in The Sound of Music. Our work preserves the historic contributions of Georg and Agathe’s extended families in music, art, innovation, humanitarianism, and internationalism, as well as their enduring wish for peace. Through research, education, and archival efforts, we are committed to sharing their rich cultural heritage and its lasting impact.

The foundation’s mission is to champion the arts, promote peace, and preserve history. We strive to raise awareness of the transformative power of music & art and encourage pathways toward peace. By sharing our family's stories, we hope to inspire others to discover more about culture and history, incorporate the arts into their lives, make a difference in their communities, and research their own heritage.
