MARAIS FOUNDATION

The Marais Foundation is a Portland, Oregon-based 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial support through micro-grants to new, emerging, and striving artists... The Marais Foundation is 100% individual donor supported. Even a small donation can have a huge impact on artists struggling to build an audience and find the materials to create. With your contribution mixed with other donations, The Marais Foundation can provide significant financial support to help artists create and will the world with color, words, and wonder... As an organization and funder, we share a strong ethic that artists need financial support and that 90% of all contributions need to be spent on delivering support to artists. As a partner with artists, we believe that financial support must be combined with community support to advance art through publications, events, and other community-oriented activities to increase awareness and visibility.
