The Djerassi Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Redwood City, California. With a staff of 15 employees, the foundation generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. The Djerassi Resident Artists Program, a cornerstone of the foundation's work, offers a unique opportunity for artists to immerse themselves in a setting of natural beauty. The program provides uninterrupted time for artistic development, fostering reflection and creative collaboration among residents.
