Does the Arts Action Fund make grants to individual artists or local arts programs?
No. The Arts Action Fund is working to increase public funding for the arts at all levels of government for the benefit of everyone across the nation, including nonprofit arts organizations, artists, and the general public. The National Endowment for the Arts and state and local arts agencies do make grants. The Arts Action Fund seeks to educate elected officials about the importance of funding these programs and to mobilize individual citizens to support public arts funding. If you are seeking arts funding, you should first contact your local and state arts councils for technical assistance, grants, and connections with others doing similar work in your community.
