The Will & Deni McIntyre Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit foundation established in 2009 to raise the profile of arts and educational groups through the creation of videos and photography for streaming, broadcast, websites, and related media.

In 2023 the foundation launched a new series for PBS, My Music with Rhiannon Giddens, hosted by the Pulitzer Prize-winning performer and music scholar.
