Biltmore Inspirations gives back.
Welcome
“It’s a simple word, yet it means so much. It speaks of feeling expected and included. It speaks of home.
My family has a long heritage of charitable outreach and personal commitment to action. Using this as our standard, Biltmore Inspirations sought a very special, meaningful way to ensure that we contribute to our founder’s legacy of helping others live well and purposefully.”
Community Is Our Business
We are thrilled to welcome Habitat for Humanity International to our Biltmore Inspirations family as our partner in charitable giving. We have supported our Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity programs for years and we are excited to expand our reach through our association with Habitat’s National and International programs. Habitat’s Global Village program will be the focus for Biltmore Inspirations’ charitable giving and we are all excited to contribute to their efforts to provide affordable housing solutions for those in need.
We welcome you to join us in support of Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village program. We welcome your energy, your enthusiasm, and your hard work, and we are grateful for your generosity and the important role that each of you plays as a member of our Biltmore Inspirations Family. Together, we will make a difference in communities across America
Our Legacy
From the beginning, Biltmore founder George Vanderbilt and his wife Edith shared a deeply-held belief in the importance of strengthening their community and empowering the people living within it to develop new economic opportunities to support their families. Since 1895, the Vanderbilt’s emphasis on personal responsibility and community service has been an integral part of the Biltmore experience, from on job creation and skill-development to protection of natural resources.
Edith Vanderbilt was particularly interested in helping community members learn new skills and trades that would lead to more possibilities for better wages and more satisfying work. She was instrumental in starting a Boys and Girls Club for young people which eventually became the highly respected Biltmore Industries business and she helped organize “Moonlight Schools” to improve adult literacy.
We honor Edith Vanderbilt’s vision and entrepreneurship as a cornerstone of the foundation for Biltmore Inspirations. Her efforts to help others become self-sufficient encourage and inspire us to ensure that her legacy survives—and thrives—in the lives of our Biltmore Inspirations consultants and in the larger community, as well.
