Arts and Culture

The goal is to support art as a way of enriching life experience.

 

Grantmaking* is focused on programs in San Francisco and London to:

  • provide opportunities to artists from diverse cultures for the creation, development, performance or exhibition in the performing (music, opera, dance, theater) literary, or visual arts; and

  • engage new audiences and increase access to the arts for, and participation in the arts by, underserved communities.

*General support is considered only for San Francisco Bay Area organizations with annual operating budgets under $500,000.

 

Annual Deadline: March 1 for a letter of inquiry.


Please note that letters of inquiry submitted by the March 1 deadline should be for projects or fiscal years scheduled to begin no sooner than the following December.

 

Geographic priority: The foundation considers letters of inquiry for programs in the San Francisco Bay Area, with priority given to San Francisco-based organizations, and in the United Kingdom, with priority given to London-based organizations.
