AEFI Artists’ Conversation: The Bay Area
*This event is by invitation only
The Aspen Institute Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative/AEFI presents an invitational, small group session for Bay Area artists interested in philanthropy and planning for their life’s work.
Artists’ Conversation: The Bay Area will draw on the findings of AEFI’s National Study of Artist-Endowed Foundations to promote awareness of the ways artists may determine whether a foundation is an appropriate choice, and to share information about how to plan effectively for a foundation that will successfully fulfill its charitable purpose.
