About Arts Fund
ArtsFund Mission
ArtsFund strengthens arts in the region by raising and responsibly allocating funds to promote artistic and organizational excellence and by advocating for all the arts.
In The Spotlight
Mary Helen Moore Diversity Fund
To honor Mary Helen Moore, companies including Comcast, Boeing, Microsoft, Safeco Insurance Foundation and Starbucks have enabled ArtsFund to grant $130,000 to organizations that demonstrate significant achievement in examining and improving the diversity of their boards, staff and audiences served.
About ArtsFund
Through ArtsFund, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit, everybody can take part in art. ArtsFund donors support nearly 70 local arts groups, large and small, so they can provide stimulating and enlightening arts for our community.
ArtsFund also helps arts groups run themselves even better through systematic feedback on their operations, based on our finely crafted allocations process. ArtsFund also serves as an advocate for the arts through TakePartInArt.org, through programs like Building for the Arts and our Board Leadership Training program. The bottom line is that 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.
