WHAT IS AN ARTS ACTION FUND PARTNER?

The Arts Action Fund recognizes that there is power in numbers. The more arts advocates that can be empowered, the more successful our work to advance the arts will be.  That’s why we are working with local, state, and national arts membership organizations to become ambassadors for the Arts Action Fund helping grow the member base to reach 1 million citizen advocates by 2013!  Our Partners actively promote and offer their members free membership in the Action Fund.

WHY BECOME A PARTNER?

Partnering with the Arts Action Fund is an opportunity to join hands with a larger network of individuals and other national service organizations to increase funding and support for the arts and arts education and to build one of the most powerful citizen lobbies in the U.S. Together, we can contribute to the creation of a truly national activist base that ensures our elected leaders will support policies and funding that create opportunities for every American to learn, participate in, enjoy and benefit from the arts. Through a strategic partnership, your members become more powerful advocates for the arts and arts education at the national, state and the local level.
 
Partnership brings with it the following advantages:

• Builds local leadership that advances your organization’s mission by strengthening advocacy for arts funding and arts-friendly policies at the local, state and national levels.
• Builds the capacity of your members to be powerful advocates and to advance their value of the arts.
• Increases advocacy impact though the 100 percent advocacy focus of our 501(c)(4) and the electoral work of the PAC to support pro-arts candidates.
• Gains more value for your members through specific Arts Action Fund benefits.
• Enhances your credibility by aligning with the nation’s largest arts advocacy organization.
• Reinforces your brand through joint, co-branded outreach on each Arts Action Fund message to your constituents that communicates your organizational commitment to arts issues that affect us all.
