Comcast

Arts are vital to the quality of life of Comcast employees and their families. With continued stress on education budgets, many children rely on arts organizations for exposure to the arts. Comcast’s Student Access Fund was created to ensure access to the arts for children and families.

About ArtsFund

Through ArtsFund, 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.
