The mission of The Russell J. Efros Foundation is to sprout creativity by providing direct support and community access to artists.
Founded in loving memory of Russell J. Efros, affectionately known to his friends and family as ‘Russell Sprouts’, the foundation is dedicated to empowering artists to express their creativity and spotlighting the value of art and culture in our society. We do this by providing financial support to artists and creating a network for collaboration and exposure through events, programming and community outreach.
The RJE Foundation's Sprout Fund was established in 2021 to support artists across the nation with direct funds for projects. The Sprout Fund awarded over $50,000 in June of 2021.
