The Arts Action Fund is an embodiment of serving cherished ideals by creating solutions. I enjoy the hybrid dynamic of the organization, that conveys the plea that arts education matters with a professional results-driven approach. The materials are clear, relatable and sophisticated, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive partisan or saccharine sentiments, while ensuring that the goal remains clearly in sight. I would love to see this organization grow in scale and offerings. Please consider supporting their efforts.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture
Mission: The Americans for the Arts Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit membership organization. Launched in 2004, the Arts Action Fund seeks to mobilize citizen activists to help ensure that arts-friendly public policies are adopted and candidates are elected at every level of government.
Geographic areas served: national
Programs: The Arts Action Fund is able to engage in candidate forums and endorsements, issue candidate report cards in an election year, and conduct larger advocacy campaigns. Now the advocacy efforts have been taken a step further with the launch of a connected political action committee, Americans for the Arts Action Fund PAC. It is only through this member-supported PAC that the Arts Action Fund is able to raise funds for candidates. The money raised will be used to support pro-arts Federal candidates in the elections. This direct support to candidates from PAC contributions is one of the most effective ways of influencing public policy. Members of Congress know that PACs connected to membership organizations represent an activist voting constituency. Americans for the Arts Action Fund is now positioned to make a difference in public arts policy.
