New York Foundation On the Arts

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) helps artists turn inspiration into art by giving more money and support to individual artists and arts organizations than any other comparable institution in the U.S. Their goal is to provide the time and resources for the creative mind and the artistic spirit to think, work, and prosper.

From its inception in 1971, NYFA has functioned as a creative development corporation, helping the arts to flourish in New York State as well as nationally. Each year, NYFA provides more than $11 million in grants and services and offers fellowships to as many as 170 New York State originating artists. They also invest in small and mid-sized arts organizations, seeding the growth of innovative programs and strengthening the artistic community.

They have a number of resources available for artists of all stripes and organizations of all sizes, including grants, information about health care, and lots of email/community lists. To find out more, visit their website or give them a call.
