The Gesso Foundation was created in accordance with the wishes expressed in the will of the acclaimed artist Frank Moore, who died in 2002. The Foundation’s purpose is twofold: to preserve, protect, and expand awareness of Frank Moore's art; and to support non-profit organizations devoted to the arts, social justice, environmental or AIDS-related causes.

Each year, the Board of Trustees awards grants to small organizations that

• support the work of emerging artists
• promote gay, lesbian, and transgender issues
• address the global AIDS crisis
• help those live with HIV/AIDS
• work to improve the environment.

Grants generally range from $2,500 to $25,000, and the Board focuses on small, innovative groups for whom the Foundation's limited funds can have a major impact.
