The Sustainable Arts Foundation is a non-profit foundation supporting artists and writers with families. Our mission is to provide financial awards to parents pursuing creative work. Too often, creative impulses are set aside to meet the wonderful, but pressing, demands of raising a family. The foundation's goal is to encourage parents to continue pursuing their creative passion, and to rekindle it in those who may have let it slide.
An aquarium, planetarium, rainforest, and natural history museum—all under one Living Roof.
Make a pledge to contribute to the work of Bay Area Rooster Boosters, and the continuation of the cursillo movement. This can be any combination of time, talent and treasure. This can be a commitment to work on the secretariat, to locate and sponsor a candidate, to palanca a meal or any type of stewardship with which you feel comfortable. All funds raised will be used to provide support for a local outreach program, establish a scholarship fund for candidates and team members, and provide badly needed financial support for the local and general secretariats.
GCC members are concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It was 1975, and comedian Jose Simon had a dream. Barbra Streisand did it. A number of rock 'n' roll bands had done it, too. Even the symphony gave it a go. Free outdoor concerts were becoming more commonplace in music. So, why not one featuring comedians? A free outdoor performance in The City that is considered the cradle of civilization for comedy would be a great way for local comedians to say thank you to their fans. Jose Simon and Robin WilliamsIt took a few years and a lot of cooperation from a lot of people to make it happen, but since 1981 more than 750 of the world's funniest comedians have performed free-of-charge for more than a half-million people at the original outdoor comedy concert, Comedy Day. It started in the Golden Gate Park Music Concourse (affectionately known as the Band Shell), moved to the Polo Fields in 1987 to accommodate larger crowds and, for the past few years, has found a home in Sharon Meadow. San Francisco's professional comedy community joins together each year to support this highly-entertaining, five-hour show. The Punch Line, Cobb's Comedy Club, SF Sketchfest, and others help make Comedy Day the most anticipated comedy event of the year. The State of California and The City support it, too. The Governor of California, San Francisco's Mayor's Office, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, California State Senator Mark Leno, California State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, Pat Paulsen Vineyards, San Francisco Examiner, KGO News Radio 810, NBC Bay Area TV, SF Weekly, Lagunitas Brewing Company, Villa Florence, Common Cider, The Bay Guardian, FCCFree Radio, SF Sketchfest, FunCheapSF, Reality Check TV, The Punch Line San Francisco, Cobb’s Comedy Club, U.S. Pure Water, Doc’s Lab, Sylvan Productions, Rock Medicine, Grants for the Arts (San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund), Sam's Chowder Mobile, Gyros & Cheesesteak Trolley, The Slider Shack, ForeverSprung Spring Rolls, Ben & Jerry's and many other organizations all contribute generously to Comedy Day.
