The Aragon Foundation provides Funding for underserved and at-risk youth—including children in the foster care system—with access to music, arts, and dance education. We fund programs that are designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and open doors to future opportunities.

We primarily serve children, teens and young adults (under 21) in Marin County, California, who have limited access to arts education due to financial or personal circumstances. We also partner with schools, community centers, and foster care organizations to reach youth who might otherwise miss out on these opportunities.

The arts help young people develop essential life skills such as self-expression, teamwork, and resilience. They also provide a safe space for exploration, build emotional well-being, and can inspire lifelong passions or career paths.

Our work is made possible through grants, individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and fundraising events. Every contribution—big or small—goes directly toward keeping our programs accessible and free of charge to those who need them most.

You can make a one-time or recurring donation, sponsor a specific program, attend one of our events, or volunteer your time and skills. Your support ensures that every child we serve has the opportunity to experience the transformative power of the arts.
