CASAS Art Foundation

Dear Friends and Family,

We are so grateful to everyone who has asked about wedding gifts - it means so much to us that you would want to mark this special and exciting moment. Truly, your presence on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all.

We do understand however that many of you are still inspired to give, so we’ve decided to celebrate our love through _the gift of inspiration_ to support a cause close to our hearts. This will be ‘the gift of nurturing creativity’ that will enable us to help other creatives thrive at key moments in their careers, from artists to writers, composers, and filmmakers.

We therefore invite you to contribute to

C A S A S Art Foundation,

a project that we aim to grow, to celebrate creativity and its power to inspire and connect.

We already have outcomes in mind, including sponsored creative residencies, by invitation, to Ibiza and Berlin, providing time and space for creatives to start or complete projects or meet deadlines. We have actually already welcomed our first resident artist to Ibiza, the artist Richard Stone, who will complete a site specific sculpture for us, as part of our wedding celebrations and as an example of what we hope to achieve in future. For this project we would like to produce a catalogue of works to coincide with the unveiling of this sculpture and the launch of C A S A S Art Foundation.

Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce the C A S A S Art Foundation BA Art Student Bursary, which will support a deserving student by helping to cover their first-year tuition. We are in the process of selecting the student at the moment. Your contributions will help make this a reality and directly shape the future of the arts community.

If you are inspired like us and would like to support our project as we start to grow it, you can donate through this website linked to a personal bank account specifically for

C A S A S Art Foundation

whilst we go through the process of setting up a registered Charity in the UK and a nonprofit Friends Association regulated by the IRS in the USA. Your generosity will inspire others for years to come and we will keep you, as our founder members, updated as to our progress.

Thank you for celebrating with us and sharing in our love, joy and creativity.

With love and gratitude,

Christopher & Alberto

PS Please Note: As we are in the process of setting up the future Charitable Foundation, linked to a 'Friends of' non-profit organisation in the USA, the funds can be paid via GoFundMe into a multi-currency account that we've set up specifically for the purpose of raising funds to transfer into the registered Charity account once its set up. Donations can be sent in the following currencies: EUR €, GBP £, and USD $. The account will receive the funds in the same currency as sent: EUR €, GBP £, USD $.

The separate account has been set up to keep the foundation’s money separate from our personal finances, which is important for legal, tax and financial transparency in order to keep records of how the funds are managed. Once the foundation is registered, we can set up a nonprofit business account and transfer all the funds we've raised.

in the future, C A S A S Art Foundation

will have the official status needed for managing donations and complying with any tax laws, such as issuing receipts for tax-deductible donations.

We will keep our Founder Members updated with the legal process and all the projects we initiate or assist in the present and over years to come.
