Mission

Friends of Ruth Asawa School of the Arts FOSOTA is dedicated to championing arts education and arts-based learning at San Franciscos groundbreaking public arts high school and beyond. Our community of donors, volunteers, educators, students, alumni, artists, activists, and allies believe in the transformative power of art in the schools. Together we are mighty.

  • DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SUPPORT: FOSOTA offers free or low-fee funds management for mission-aligned projects that need access to nonprofit grants. In FY 23-24, the organization managed $100k+ in grant funds for projects by students from schools throughout the city, including an after-school safe space for middle schoolers facing education challenges, an outreach program dedicated to addressing accessibility in arts education, and youth workshops to fill the overlooked gap between art and entrepreneurship.

    Expenses $182,954 · Grants $110,148

  • ALUMNI OUTREACH: The Asawa SOTA alumni association cultivates community, connections, and camaraderie to support and celebrate alumni, the school, and arts-based learning. Funded by FOSOTA to foster equity and inclusion, the alumni association is dues-free, and all Asawa SOTA alumni are automatically members. In addition to funding the association, FOSOTA provided over $8k in graduation support and alumni grants in FY 23-24. FARM ARTS PROGRAMMING: FOSOTA supports the McAteer Campus Community Farm in developing farm-to-school and sustainable culinary arts programming. In FY 23-24, FOSOTA provided $11k in funding for farm maintenance, repairs, and community events. Additionally, FOSOTA began the management of a $100K USDA grant to establish the site as San Franciscos first schoolyard farm providing produce for public school meals.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
