strategic partnerships

Connections with people and organizations in every sector and industry associated with the arts—government, business, philanthropy, and entertainment—are crucial in realizing our goals. By promoting collaboration in the form of alliances, partnerships, linkages, and mergers Americans for the Arts builds a stronger voice in support of the Arts.

• Advance efforts with the entertainment industry, such as current work with The Film Foundation, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and the Ad Council, and with more national arts service organizations
  
  
• Connect with more national associations for elected leaders, such the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures
  
  
• Connect with more national associations for the private sector, such as the Business Roundtable and the National Chamber of Commerce
  
  
• Build and forge stronger connections to public and private sector leaders through Americans for the Arts' internal leadership committees: the Board of Directors, the American Arts Policy Roundtable, the National Leadership Council, and the President's Advisory Committee
  
  
• Develop a strong private sector initiative for arts funding with corporate leaders; individual philanthropists; and national, community, and family foundations
  
  
• Develop an initiative to increase arts giving by young and emerging philanthropists
