SAN FRANCISCO – Fort Mason Foundation (FMF) Executive Director
Alexander Zwissler today announced the third round of Shulte
Grants for the Arts and Crafts, this year totaling $90,000.
The Shulte Grants program was established in 2002 as a result
of a bequest from the estate of Mrs. Leta Shulte to the Fort
Mason Foundation. The program, administered by the foundation,
is designed to foster, promote, and provide education in the
arts and crafts for people of all ages. It is also intended
to strengthen existing institutions that support artists and
launch new cultural endeavors.
"Mrs. Shulte loved Fort Mason Center," Zwissler said,
"Through her generosity, we have been able to award nearly
$200,000 in grants for nonprofits in just two years. We are
looking forward to new grant applications."
Past grant recipients include A Home Within, Shadowlight Productions,
Young Audiences, Museum of Craft & Folk Art, Joe Cunningham,
and the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
The Foundation will accept proposals from nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organizations and individual artists or projects whose participants
and producers are fiscally supported by a nonprofit.
"In the spirit of the bequest," Zwissler said, "funding
must be used for activities at Fort Mason Center and the Herbst
International Exhibition Hall in San Francisco’s Presidio
that foster creation, presentation, and appreciation of the
arts and crafts."
Submissions for the Shulte Grant must be postmarked by February
16, 2005. For applications, grant application workshop time
and place, or more information visit www.fortmason.org
or call (415) 345-7510.
Located on 13 waterfront acres near San Francisco’s
Marina District and the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Mason Center
is a successfully converted military base that is both an historic
landmark and an ever-changing reflection of the dynamic Bay
Area community. The Center, operated by the Fort Mason Foundation,
houses 35 permanent nonprofit residents, including four museums,
six theaters, and City College of San Francisco’s Art Campus.
More than 15,000 events take place here each |
