Richard C. Kessler is an avid supporter of the arts and is a proponent of education and inspiring minds, young and old. His selflessness is reflected through The Kessler Collection’s commitment to giving back to the community.

He has pledged his own funds to further the arts, founded the annual Orange County Public Schools/Grand Bohemian Hotel “Excellence in Teaching Fine Arts” scholarship, and has contributed to numerous charities and projects to support the community, including the New Ebenezer Retreat & Conference Center and the Treutlen House for Children in Georgia.

Following in Kessler’s philanthropic footsteps, each Kessler Collection property participates in community service events on a regular basis.
