About Us

The Paige Fraser Foundation (TPFF) was established in 2017 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with Paige Fraser as Founder and Artistic Director and Lesmah J. Fraser as Co-Founder and President.  The mission of TPFF is to create a safe space for aspiring young artists, with or without disabilities, to reach their full potential in Dance, Music, Theater and the Visual Arts. Our initial program, named Dance is Healing (DIH), is an annual 1-2 day dance intensive provided for free to young dancers ages 10-17. 

TPFF continues to collaborate and partner with other Bronx community-based organizations such as Mind-Builders Creative Arts Center, BronxNet Television, and the Bronx Art Center. TPFF is committed to creating a broad community of partners and supporters to spread kindness and hope through the arts and one day build a Performing Arts and Wellness Center in the Northeast Bronx.
