About SAINT JOSEPHS ARTS FOUNDATION

Saint Josephs Arts Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports Saint Joseph’s Arts Society, a large multi-disciplinary arts venue located in a renovated National Historic Landmark church in San Francisco. The Foundation underwrites exhibitions, year-round artist residencies, public programs, culinary and performance events, and membership/patron programs that connect local and visiting artists with the public. In the last 2–3 years the Foundation has maintained an active public calendar of exhibitions, residencies and partnered programs (including dance, film, literature and community conversations), expanded partner locations beyond San Francisco, and continued to operate as a donor-facing organization with membership tiers and fundraising events. The organization files annual Form 990 reports and publicly reports programmatic activity and finances as part of its nonprofit stewardship.
