A4 Arts Fund

The Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) is proud to launch the A4 Arts Fund, a new national grant initiative supported by The Wallace Foundation and in partnership with the National Arts Regranting Partners. This program aims to explore and advance equitable grantmaking practices in the creative sector, with a focus on supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) arts and culture. [...] The A4 Arts Fund offers general operating support and cohort-based engagement to under-resourced arts and culture organizations that support and uphold AAPI communities. Eligible organizations must have annual operating budgets of under $500,000. Through an open application process, A4 will award $500,000 in total funding, granting $25,000 each to 20 organizations across the country for a one-year period. [...] In addition to funding, grantee partners will also participate in a virtual cohort engagement model, creating a national community of peer organizations. This cohort will be designed to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and mutual support among those committed to sustaining and creating arts and cultural spaces for AAPI communities.
