Who we are
Zev United is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization based in Dripping Springs, TX U.S.A.
Our mission is to support the talents of exemplary musicians and skateboarders under the age of 18.
Public charity status: 170(b)(1)(A)(vi)
Our History
Zev United was founded by indie-music power couple, Ben and Liz Kweller.
In 2023, the Kweller’s suffered the immense tragedy of losing their 16-year-old son, Dorian, in a freak car accident.
In his short time on Earth, Dorian became an acclaimed recording artist, using his middle name, Zev, which means “Wolf”.
Dorian was known as a "Friend to all" and encouraged his peers to find their inner artist and follow their passions.
He was a kind and gentle soul, non-judgmental, open-minded, and an all around great person. If you knew him, you know.
Our Initiatives
We recognize the importance of vocational education.
There are many young, talented people who don't have the business skills or knowledge of how to break through to their desired career.
We offer financial assistance and mentorship programs to help them embark on professional journeys in these fields.
Our Future
While Dorian’s life ended abruptly and far too soon, his legacy lives on through his music and his memory.
We hope that through our work we will inspire and nurture future generations of creatives just like Dorian.
