Donate to the Foundation
The Artists’ Foundation raises funds for the benefit of artists who, due to a major event or a period without work, are struggling to make ends meet. The Foundation relies on the generosity of artists themselves, the general public as well as companies and foundations who support the arts.
Several forms of donations are available :
- one-time and monthly donations
- planned giving (e.g.: bequest in a will, life insurance policy, gift of shares)
- donation to the Ronald-France Friends’ Circle
- organization of fundraising activities (shows, dinners, cocktail parties, various fun runs)
- in memoriam donations
