Queer Cultural Center

Queer Cultural Center promotes the artistic, cultural, and economic evolution of LGBTQ+ artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. It commissions and presents queer artists and arts organizations and is committed to serving artists and audiences who are diverse across multiple dimensions, including sexuality, gender expression, race, artistic genre, and cultural tradition. Each year, Queer Cultural Center produces a queer arts festival that features over 40 arts events in San Francisco, the East Bay, and virtually. The organization also supports LGBTQ+ artists with fiscal sponsorship services, grants, community-building opportunities, and capacity-building workshops. This organizational effectiveness grant will help the organization design a new CRM that will more effectively manage their donations and financial accounting, including the financial services provided to 12 fiscally sponsored projects. This grant advances the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy.
