Ways to Give
Creative Capital Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization defending artistic freedom by fundraising to directly support individual artists with grants and services. Every gift is tax-deductible, and every dollar directly supports individual artists— their grants, their services, their futures.
Consider a multi-year pledge. A commitment over 3–5 years supports future grants and services for artists — especially vital now, as thousands have lost access to regional and national funding.
Questions? Contact +1.551.225.0865 or by email: [email protected]
Creative Capital Foundation is supported by a range of funding partners who believe that individual artists contribute significantly to our country’s cultural life and economy.
