So proud to support such meaningful work of brining and highlighting art in our amazing city  

SHACK15 Art Prize is a brand new award for visual artists of San Francisco Bay Area

SHACK15 Art Prize is a brand new award for visual artists of San Francisco Bay Area, a collaboration between SHACK15 and We♥️SF communities, with support from Art Bae.

Our mission is to make space, for artists, for experimentation, and for the kind of work that changes how a city sees itself.

We believe supporting artists is a civic act: not charity, not a trend, but a deliberate contribution to the cultural and emotional life of San Francisco.

Through the Art Prize, we are building infrastructure for imagination, starting with seven artists and an open invitation that if you believe art belongs at the heart of civic life, this mission is yours too.

Edward Charles Foundation takes pride in working with projects which we can partner with to most effectively benefit the community

Annually, and independently audited 501(c)(3) Edward Charles Foundation assists changemakers including donors, philanthropists, funders, charity founders, social entrepreneurs, executives and corporations in establishing legal and compliant charitable funds to do good and have maximum impact.   Over 13+ years in existence, over 450 charitable projects executed, over 50 million in charitable funds disbursed. We have notable clients. We have helped our changemaker clients engage in meaningful philanthropy and we are stewards of trust for our clients' charitable funds in a transparent and compliant environment with “white glove” service.

Both DAFs and FSFs are Restricted Charitable Funds, meaning both must advance charitable purposes. Each is also considered a Time of Gift Deduction, in that the donor recognizes the charitable gift as a charitable contribution. DAFs and FSFs both also have a Fund Administrator—the sponsor—which assumes the legal, fiscal, and reporting obligations of the fund. 

But that’s where the similarities end…

Donor Advised Funds have strict limitations leaving them in the dark, whereas Fiscal Sponsor Funds have less restrictions and more opportunities for philanthropists and their causes. 

Fiscal Sponsor Funds can accommodate:

If the donor would like to raise funds (from friends, other donors, or foundations)
If the donor would like to disburse charitable funds to foreign organizations
If the donor would like to gift individuals a charitable gift such as an educational scholarship
Paying vendors if a donor would like to put on an event to advance their charitable purposes
Paying its lawyers and other service providers
Self-dealing rules are mitigated due to structure
Fiscal Sponsorship platforms are pen when it comes to types of non-cash assets to receive
Fiscal Sponsorship is open to investment platforms (as long as they comply with the Prudent Investment Rule)
FSFs can continue generationally with a legacy plan

The art where we live is vibrant, intelligent, challenging, messy, and beautiful, and it won't survive without our help. You can be an enormous help to the artists of San Francisco. Yes, right now. 

WE❤️SF and SHACK15 communities are partnering with Art Bae to create the\*\*\*\*\*\* [SHACK15 Art Prize](https://www.shack15.com/arts-program) for the artists of our fair city. 

If we don't support the artists of San Francisco, they will disappear. 

Artists are essential for the survival of human joy. Without your help, the soul of San Francisco might just lose the creative freedom, visionary perspectives, and fearless beauty that made our city magic. Let's support our artist today.

Art is something we couldn’t live without, and don’t think you should either.
