The Felissimo Tribute 21 Plate Project

Background and Description
The Felissimo Tribute 21 Plate project began in 1996 with the desire to make the dreams of
children around the world come true. The plates feature designs and messages by celebrities and
influential people from all walks of life, carrying wishes and inspirations for future generations.
Each year, new plate designs are introduced and are available for purchase in the United States
and Japan.

Felissimo Plate Fund
For each plate sold, a portion of the proceeds is allocated to the "Felissimo Plate Fund." 50% of
this fund is donated to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) for a children's program and the other 50% is divided amongst the charities that have
been selected by the individual participants of this project. Now in its tenth year, the Tribute 21
Plate series has already raised over $850,000 and includes 561 plate designs.

Dream Center
One of the new developments of the Tribute 21 collaboration between Felissimo and UNESCO is
the children's educational program "Dream Center," which receives UNESCO's charitable
portion of plate sales. This program provides children in third world countries with opportunities to
express and enrich themselves through Dance, Reading, Entertainment (such as sports and
theater), Art and Music.

Supporting Organizations
Along with UNESCO, a portion of the proceeds from the Tribute 21 Plate sales benefit charities
selected by the participants of the Tribute 21 Plate project. A few of the chosen charities include:
amfAR, City Harvest, DIFFA, Friends Without A Border and Médecins du Monde.
Recent Participants

This year's participants include legendary artist Robert Rauschenberg, designer Todd Oldham,
illustrator Alexander Stadler and jewelry designer Pablo Valencia. These are just a few of the
many who have contributed to the Tribute 21 Plate project.
