Jane S. Horne:

“Brandon started The Lightweaver Foundation for personal reasons and his vision for the foundation does not involve a lot of promotion.Out of respect for him we have not advertised or done any fundraising.”

“At some point Brandon will ask for fans to partner with him to donate for a certain cause but he wants to make sure the money is actually funneled to the charity or project intended by the donation."

Kara Stewart, shipping manager at Dragonsteel Entertainment Inc.:

"Actually, we work hand in hand with Lightweaver and support them in all their projects, many of which are not public knowledge."

Charity efforts by the Lightweaver Foundation:

In-kind donations made to the Ronald McDonald House Charities in the Intermountain Area

Sponsored the Provo Girls Summit, an event where girls could meet women from a variety of professions, where they could ask questions, make connections, and see successful models of women in many different lines of work.
