Mission
THE SAN FRANCISCO BALLET ENDOWMENT FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1980 AND IN 1981 MADE ITS FIRST DISTRIBUTION TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BALLET ASSOCIATION (THE ASSOCIATION), A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION. (SEE SCHEDULE O) SINCE INCEPTION, STRONG INVESTMENT RETURNS AND CONTRIBUTIONS, PRIMARILY FROM ESTATES AND FROM DONORS, HAVE GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND INCREASED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENDOWMENT TO THE ASSOCIATION'S REVENUE STREAM. THE FOUNDATION IS INCORPORATED AS A SEPARATE NONPROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF HOLDING AND MANAGING ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ASSOCIATION. IT SEEKS TO PROVIDE THE ASSOCIATION WITH A RELIABLE SOURCE OF SUPPORT WHILE PROTECTING ITS INVESTMENTS AGAINST INFLATION AND WIDE SWINGS IN THE CAPITAL MARKETS SO THAT THE ASSOCIATION MAY CONTINUE ITS MISSION TO SHARE THE JOY OF DANCE WITH THE WIDEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND AROUND THE GLOBE.
