Arts Impact Endowment (AIE) Grant

The Arts Impact Endowment (AIE) by the San Francisco Arts Commission aims to support local artists and organizations over the next five years, focusing on preventing displacement through grants and resources. The initiative emphasizes racial equity and social justice, aligning with the 2024-2029 Cultural Services Allocation Plan. By funding artists' work, their environments, and community connections, AIE seeks to enhance the vibrancy of San Francisco's cultural landscape, fostering creativity and positive social change.

Community Investments
The Community Investments program supports San Francisco-based artists, arts organizations, and communities with an equity lens through grants, technical assistance, arts education initiatives, and community-based Cultural Centers.
The CSAP for the AIE 2024-2029 will support three broad areas which have become our funding channels. Based on the Arts Impact Endowment year one survey, the funding channels have been renamed for clarity of purpose and now provide examples of the types of projects and expenses each area covers. Please carefully read each funding area and its description as these have changed.
