October is Funding for Arts Month at the Foundation Center. The Foundation Center's Funding for Arts Month will offer special events, classes, and resources aimed at helping artists and nonprofit arts organizations become better grant seekers and increase their funding throughout October. At free programs held at the Center's locations in Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, and San Francisco, as well as online via a webinar program, participants can discover fundraising strategies, network with fellow artists and colleagues, and gain insight into how the economic crisis has impacted foundation support for the arts.
