ABOUT THE Arts Impact Endowment (AIE) Project-Based Initiative
* CHECK SFAC GRANTS LANDING PAGE FOR AIE GRANTS GUIDELINES ON FRIDAY 9.8.23*
The vitality of San Francisco depends on its arts and cultural communities. In November 2018, representatives of these communities worked to support the passage of Proposition E. With 75 percent voter approval, Proposition E established the Arts Impact Endowment, which is jointly administered by the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) and Grants for the Arts (GFTA). Proposition E charged the SFAC and GFTA with a community engagement process to inform the creation of a Cultural Service Allocation Plan (CSAP) and distribution of funds from the Arts Impact Endowment.
The 2019-2024 CSAP outlined four priority areas that the Arts Impact Endowment will support through the year 2024: 1) Arts Education (40%); 2) Affordable Space (30%); 3) Arts Organizations Core Support (20%); and 4) Individual Artists Support (10%).
Purpose and Funding Categories
In 2022-2023 AIE focused on reaching organizations and individuals who have historically been unable to access City arts funding (SFAC & GFTA) through the First-Time Grantees Initiative. This year AIE will be focusing on the project-based specific artistic works that demonstrate originality, vision, and benefit or interest to the community. Individuals may apply to arts education/creative exploration, space/capital, or individual artist support priority funding areas. Organizations may apply to arts education/creative exploration, space/capital, or core project support priority funding areas.
- Arts Education (Engage + Explore)- For Individual or Organizations
- Space (Access + Afford)- For Individuals or Organizations
- Core Project Support (People + Plans)- For Organizations
- Individual Artist Support (For Individuals)- For Individuals
