History
Patrons of the Prado have raised funds for eleven museums in Balboa Park since its inception in 1997. Supporting the museums on the Prado is our mission. The founders had a vision to gift unrestricted funds to these 11 museums so that everyone in the community could benefit greatly from the art and culture their programs and services offer.
Beneficiaries
Each year three museums are chosen to receive the funds raised that year, and these funds are divided equally. Each year the funds have increased substantially over the previous year. In fact, since the founding of Patrons of the Prado we have raised over $1 million for the museums. This year"s recipients include:
- Museum Of Photographic Arts
- San Diego Museum Of Art
- San Diego Museum Of Man
