About MINNESOTA STREET PROJECT FOUNDATION
Minnesota Street Project Foundation (founded 2019) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports contemporary artists and the Bay Area arts ecosystem through below-market-rate artist studios, residencies, exhibitions, and targeted grant programs. In recent years the Foundation has run grant and relief initiatives (including an Artist Emergency Relief Grant in 2023), supported multi-year equity-focused programs such as the California Black Voices Project and Grants for Arts Equity, presented the San Francisco Art Book Fair (presented by MSP Foundation since 2023), and incubated or partnered on institutional projects to expand presentation opportunities for contemporary art. The organization's EIN (83-3859484) and tax-exempt status were confirmed through public nonprofit registries and the Foundation’s own filings; the Foundation maintains an active web presence and ongoing programming and exhibitions, making it a verifiable, donor-facing arts nonprofit.
