The Out + Excellent Charity Gala

The K. Stewart Foundation proudly presents the 2nd Annual Out + Excellent Gala + Charity Dinner; a signature evening celebrating authentic excellence in action.

This premier fundraising event brings together visionary leaders, cultural innovators, philanthropists, and community change-makers from across the Bay Area and beyond for an unforgettable night of purpose, connection, and impact.

Hosted within the elegant California Ballroom in the heart of Oakland, the Gala will feature a sophisticated cocktail reception, curated dinner experience, dynamic live performances, and a silent auction designed to support the Foundation’s mission to advance leadership, arts, education, and economic opportunity for Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and women-led communities.

Out + Excellent is more than a gala. The KSF team is driving a growing movement that honors individuals and institutions who are shaping a future defined by courage, creativity, and collective progress. The evening will spotlight stories of transformational leadership while creating meaningful space for partnership, celebration, and investment in community-driven solutions.

Guests will enjoy an elevated social experience while contributing to programs that cultivate emerging leaders, expand access to cultural arts platforms, and strengthen pathways to long-term community prosperity.

Join us for an inspiring night where excellence is recognized, impact is funded, and the next chapter of bold leadership is set in motion. Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.

Thank you for supporting our mission.
