Support ArtsFund

Where Your Money Goes

Contributions to ArtsFund provide general operating support to 69 nonprofit arts groups within King and/or Pierce Counties (donors direct their funds to one or both counties).  The range of supported groups is broad in terms of size and disciplines.  General operating funds are the most flexible, and therefore most valuable, of donated funds received by arts groups.  And though ArtsFund grants are unrestricted, the dollars are not unaccounted for because the ArtsFund grant application is extensive, and our Committees’ annual interviews are probing and thoughtful.   ArtsFund grants help keep ticket prices as low as possible, increase access to the arts for all, and enable outreach touring and children's education programs.

In the Spotlight

Sellen Construction

Sellen  has contributed to this region in a very visible way, building many of the structures we see and visit every single day, including a number of our arts venues.  Sellen also does a lot behind the scenes. Recently Sellen’s workplace giving drive for the arts generated over $52,000 from 235 generous donors in addition to a corporate gift of $15,000.  Sellen’s contribution goes beyond money as well.  President, Scott Redman serves as ArtsFund’s Board Chair and Jessie Beltran who spearheaded the workplace drive also served on the ArtsFund Allocations Committee.  We are so grateful to Scott, Jessie and all of the amazing people at Sellen.
