More About Our Company
The John E. Profant Foundation for the Arts is a nonprofit 501c3 organization. Our mission, to assist developing artists of all ages, is founded on the belief that as we support the lives of several artists, they will enrich the lives of countless other people. Since 2000 we have funded hundreds of scholarships totaling over $250,000 for developing artists of all ages.
We are blessed to have the opportunity to share such a beautiful work as “Rosabella” with the world, both the book and the ballet, and in turn “Rosabella” will help us to give scholarships in the future. A portion of the proceeds from the sale and licensing of all “Rosabella” products will go directly to support our scholarship fund.
