Dedicated to the well-being of Bay Area children and youth, this funder supports organizations that prepare children and youth from low-income households for fulfilled and productive lives through strong and effective leadership.
The grant program aims to integrate the arts into the lives of young people aged 5 to 18, emphasizing inspiration, hands-on experience, and connection to diverse cultures through the arts. It supports programs aligned with the California State Board of Education Standards for Visual and Performing Arts, providing a minimum of 15 hours of immersive art experience. Programs connected to schools or districts, offering classes during the school day or after-school, with a strong focus on serving under-served communities, are ideal candidates.
