ABOUT THE MABEL MERCER FOUNDATION:
OUR MISSION: Created in 1985 as a not-for-profit arts organization, The Mabel Mercer Foundation serves both to perpetuate the memory and spirit of its legendary namesake and to stimulate and promote public interest in the fragile and endangered world of cabaret. Currently in its third decade, the Foundation and its efforts have been perhaps best summarized and recognized by a recent commendation from The Oakland Tribune: “Cabaret may not be thriving, but it is alive and well, thanks mainly to The Mabel Mercer Foundation and its support of wonderfully diverse talents.” Read more about our mission.
