Well Being in the Arts National Art Partners (NAP) Fund - Center for Arab American Philanthropy

Recognizing that arts organizations rooted in communities of color have historically faced underinvestment, the Well-Being in the Arts: National Art Partners (NAP) Fund, supported by The Wallace Foundation, was created to partner with these organizations to advance their well-being, enhance understanding of their contributions to community and ultimately help to build a more equitable and sustainable arts ecosystem.

This partnership brings together a cohort of 12 cultural organizations nationwide to collaboratively design and facilitate a regranting program that supports arts organizations in their respective communities.

Among them, the Arab American National Museum (AANM), the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) and the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC) are working to ensure this funding reaches arts organizations rooted in the Arab American lived experience, providing funds for general operating support.

We invite arts and culture organizations to apply! Grant amounts will range from $5,000 to $40,000. Please note that your organization’s budget will affect the amount of funding you are eligible to receive.
