We are excited by the future of the arts in Washington state and beyond.

ArtsFund knows that the sector is still adjusting to a changing world, and it is because of that change that the work we support is as important today as ever. Through our leadership, advocacy, and grantmaking efforts, we have been able to invest over $46 million in over 1,000 organizations across the state over the past five years. These investments have been in capacity building, research, and unrestricted grants to a sector that provides billions of dollars of economic activity to our community and contributes to the mental, physical, and economic wellbeing of millions of Washingtonians.

For over 55 years, ArtsFund has acknowledged the power of the arts and the important role it plays in strengthening society. As we grow our reach into new and different parts of the state, we continue to uphold our dedication to a healthy community through providing access to the arts for all.

– We know that access to the arts provides better outcomes for youth.
– We know that access to the arts provides better economic opportunities for neighborhoods.
– We know that access to the arts provides better social and emotional outcomes for all individuals.

Since 1969, we have seen new and different ways that the arts have made our region what it is today, and we look forward to supporting the role of the arts in making our community a better place for another 50 years and beyond.

It is because of the support of this community that we can continue our work. Whether it is our corporate partners, our institutional partners, or our individual partners, ArtsFund remains dedicated to leveraging those partnerships into initiatives that further our mission to support the arts through leadership, advocacy, and grantmaking in order to build a more healthy, equitable, and creative Washington.

Thank you for your support and for your dedication to that mission.
