Current Sponsorships

The Vallejo Community Arts Foundation wants to help arts organizations and performing and visual artists raise money for their artistic work. We provide accessibility, efficiency and affordability. We also provide education and support for raising funds.

There is a passionate community of philanthropic individuals, charitable foundations, and government institutions devoted to funding the arts. The challenge is that many independent artists and small companies lack the 501(c)(3) tax status that makes them eligible to apply for grants and incentivizes individual gifts. Additionally, when an artist launches a nonprofit, there’s little time for making art. The day-to-day business of administering a tax-exempt organization leaves little room for anything else.

We want artists to spend time making art, not filing paperwork. With fiscal sponsorship, you can solicit tax-deductible donations and apply for grants without going through the onerous process of launching a 501(c)(3). The sponsored project might be a one-time or ongoing collaboration for an independent artist or an arts organization that does not have its own 501(c)(3) status.

WHAT DO WE SPONSOR?

VCAF supports fiscally sponsored projects that are consistent with our IRS-approved charitable mission. Projects must be artistic in nature and may not be produced solely for commercial gain. The term project is used very broadly and may refer to a one-time project, an ongoing group or company, or even the work and career of an individual artist.
