What ArtsFund Does
Since 1969 ArtsFund has brought together donors to support nearly 70 local arts groups, large and small, so they can provide stimulating and enlightening arts for our community. Our annual fundraising campaigns provide a vehicle through which individuals, foundations and businesses can impact a variety of artistic disciplines, and the arts ecosystem as a whole, with just one gift. ArtsFund also serves as an advocate through its research on the economic impact of the arts, programs like Building for the Arts and its Board Leadership Training program. ArtsFund’s cash grants, capacity building, and other services make arts groups stronger so they can serve this region and make it a great place to live, work, raise a family and run a business.

The program begins in November and runs through June. Associates are placed on small teams and work together to raise money and connect individuals and businesses to the arts.
