Support SAAC
The Storytelling Association of Alta California is a not-for-profit organization. As a 501c3 SAAC derives its income from modest membership dues, volunteer board and committee members, donations, sponsorship and periodic grants. We need your support!

Make a tax-free donation to support SAAC, maintain the art form of storytelling and help us reach more and more diverse populations.

We actively seek new members, in-kind donations and monetary donations.


Sponsorship Levels:
We seek sponsorships with local businesses whose values are aligned with BASF and SAAC. We focus both on East Bay and Bay Area organizations, followed by California-based businesses and national corporations. BASF Sponsors will be giving back to their own community. In BASF, they will be aligning themselves with a wonderful tradition whose values they can be proud of.

 
SAAC/BASF Values:
The Bay Area Storytelling Festival and stories heard therein reinforce the values of:
  • Family (storytelling is a multi-generational experience)
  • Recycling (stories are handed down from generation to generation)
  • Nature (our setting is a regional park)
  • Community
  • Multiculturalism
  • Environmentalism
  • Tradition
  • The Oral Tradition
  • Reading
