Give today
While these projects look for funders, here’s a cause you can support right now, without leaving this page.
Nonprofit · Pasadena, CA
Picnic Studio
An art studio and exhibition gallery in one space for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its program works like an artist residency: artists try new mediums, build portfolios, sell their work and spend time with their community.
Picnic Studio is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-1690225); its site says donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The form is Givebutter’s own and opens on this page; we never handle the money. Source: Picnic Studio, as of Nov 13, 2026.
Grant-ready info
The short version for a program officer. Ask us for anything else and we’ll answer only with what we can stand behind.
What funds would do
- Build the donor, request and directory tools listed above for each organization that says yes.
- Grow microhom.us, our micro home store and community planner.
Who it serves
- People living in vehicles or without a fixed address.
- Relief groups that need shelter after a disaster.
- Communities planning small, affordable homes.
How we work
- C∞A∞I∞O is a for-profit business, not a nonprofit. For grants that require one, we’d apply alongside a nonprofit partner or fiscal sponsor.
- Every project shows its real status. We publish outcomes only once the organization confirms them.
- C∞A∞I∞O is a small AI-first studio that does agency-level work for small businesses.
