Support to Local Arts Service Organizations Affected by Disasters

The Americans for the Arts Emergency Relief Fund was established to provide timely financial assistance to victims of a major disaster for the purpose of helping them rebuild the arts in their community. Relief funds are distributed directly to local arts agencies or other non-profit arts organizations that provide community-wide services. The funds may be used to assist with their own recovery as well as to provide needed services and funding to local nonprofit arts organizations and individual artists. 

Relief funds are generated on an ongoing basis by Americans for the Arts and the charitable contributions of foundations, corporations, governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals from across the country. Contributions to the Americans for the Arts Emergency Relief Fund are tax deductible. One hundred percent of all funds raised will be distributed to local arts service organizations in disaster areas.

The application process for emergency relief funds is only opened in times of great need when resources are available to distribute.
