The Arts Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit membership organization created by Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization for advancing arts in America. Launched on October 4, 2004, it seeks to engage citizens in education and advocacy in support of the arts and arts education. The Arts Action Fund’s goal is to enlist and mobilize 100,000 citizen activists who will help ensure that arts-friendly public policies are adopted at the federal, state, and local levels, and public and private resources are maximized.
Americans for the Arts is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and New York, and includes more than 5,000 organizational and individual members and stakeholders across the country. With more than 40 years of service, Americans for the Arts is dedicated to representing and serving local communities and creating opportunities for every American to participate in and appreciate all forms of the arts.
Americans for the Arts and its new Arts Action Fund are governed by separate Boards of Directors. To help us promote our advocacy message, we are pleased to work with a distinguished committee of artists representing diverse disciplines.
The Arts Action Fund educates the media and decision-makers about the arts and arts education. Through our extensive arts network, we educate and train arts advocates at the state and local levels, as well as connect them to advocacy organizations in their areas. We evaluate Members of Congress on voting records and support for arts issues, and provide a voice for the public to advance the arts and arts education policy at the federal, state, and local levels.
