BOSArts is not currently organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
At this stage, BOSArts operates as a philanthropic initiative funded through promotional fees contributed by participating business owners. As our organization grows, we intend to pursue formal nonprofit status so that we may broaden our ability to support artists and expand our grant programs.
We encourage all participants, donors, and applicants to review our Financial Transparency & Fund Handling Statement, which explains how funds are collected, allocated, safeguarded, and reviewed to ensure integrity and accountability.
BOSArts is committed to honest, responsible, and transparent financial stewardship. While we are not yet a 501(c)(3), we voluntarily follow nonprofit-style best practices to ensure that contributions are used appropriately and in alignment with our mission to support artists.

Dedicated Grant Fund Accounts
All funds designated for artist grants are maintained separately from operational accounts to ensure clear and traceable allocation.
