The Arts Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit membership organization created by Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization for advancing arts in America. Launched on October 4, 2004, it seeks to engage citizens in education and advocacy in support of the arts and arts education.

Art. Ask for More.
It came as a surprise to discover that most Americans actually understand the importance of arts education to their children. But what they may not realize is that their children are not getting enough. In our partnership with the Ad Council and local and state arts agencies around the country, we have created promotional ads to encourage parents to ask for more, and we give them the tools to do so.

Members' Only PAC
Americans for the Arts Action Fund PAC is a connected political action committee of Americans for the Arts Action Fund. Only members of the Arts Action Fund may be solicited for PAC contributions, and it is only through this member-supported PAC that the Arts Action Fund is able to raise funds for candidates. All contributions will be used to support pro-arts Federal candidates in the elections. This direct support to candidates from PAC contributions is one of the most effective ways to help shape public policy. Members of Congress know that PACs connected to membership organizations represent an activist voting constituency. Americans for the Arts Action Fund, a citizen member advocacy organization, is now positioned to make a bigger difference in public arts policy.
