BOJAGI Korean Gift Wrapping Workshop

BOJAGI is San Francisco’s sustainable gifting revolution, inspired by the rich tradition of Korean wrapping cloths.

Rooted in the rich Korean tradition of wrapping and decorating with fabric, this ancient art form is still practiced today and recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Korea. We’re reimagining sustainable gifting in San Francisco and beyond.

This workshop offers a chance to immerse yourself in Korean culture and discover the fascinating history and significance of bojagi wrapping cloths. You’ll study the ancient art of beautiful bojagi wrapping techniques for gifts of all shapes and sizes, and learn to wrap books, boxes, wine bottles, candles, and more! Each participant will take home a BOJAGI wrap valued at $26 retail.

Share laughter and build lasting memories while learning together and exploring the endless possibilities of using BOJAGI for mindful gifting and eco-conscious living.

Unless otherwise noted, online registration closes two days before the event date.

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
