Grantmaking

Through both formal and informal communication, this group addresses issues of common concern facing grantmakers in the arts: funding trends, use of technology, equity in funding, categories of support, program guidelines, evaluation criteria, grant review processes, and grantee accountability. They provide a network for communication and a conduit for working with Americans for the Arts on professional development initiatives, information distribution, and the development of standards within the grantmaking area.
