About the Marigold Project
Marigold Project is a Mission based nonprofit. Our purpose is to preserve, promote, and share the rituals and practices of Day of the Dead in San Francisco.

We do this each year by:

    * Coordinating and commissioning the free, outdoor Altar Exhibit on November 2
    * Publishing this website
    * Distributing flyers and posters for the Procession and Altar Exhibit
    * Creating a community calendar of San Francisco Day of the Dead events, leading up to November 2
    * Hosting two fundraisers that aim to educate neighbors, friends and our local community about Day of the Dead.

Marigold Project is fiscally sponsored by CounterPULSE. We are generously supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission, the Mission Merchants Association, Community Artists and Individuals.
