Contributions to ArtsFund provide general operating support to 60 nonprofit arts groups within King and/or Pierce Counties
People are our strength. Our Board, Allocations Committees, staff, and most especially, our donors, participate because of their passion for the arts and their confidence in ArtsFund’s efficiency and integrity. Please join us!
The ArtsFund Visionaries connects emerging leaders + business professionals to our vision – a community where the arts are accessible to all and valued as critical to a healthy society.
Art surrounds us and enriches our lives. This year, we are celebrating some of the many ways that art brings us closer together. Join us.

Since 1989, Microsoft and its employees have contributed over $6.6 million to ArtsFund, making the company ArtsFund’s single largest donor. Microsoft employees have served in just about every ArtsFund leadership role, including chairing the Board of Trustees, Allocations Committee, and serving as ambassadors for ArtsFund through the volunteer Associate program. Additionally, Microsoft has made generous donations of software and other products and services.
Microsoft's commitment to local arts organizations goes beyond its strong relationship with ArtsFund. Total direct contributions exceed $1 million annually; company matching and volunteer hours more than double that number. Microsoft employees have served on the boards of many prominent local arts organizations including the 5th Avenue Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Children's Theatre, Seattle Opera, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle Symphony and Bellevue Arts Museum. In 2013, Americans for the Arts named Microsoft one of the Top Ten Best Businesses Partnering with the Arts in America.
Microsoft has been and will continue to be one of ArtsFund's most important partners. Thank you, Microsoft, for all you do to strengthen the community, and for so generously supporting the arts!
