About Us

The Arts Federation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation founded to assist arts and cultural organizations with a persistent challenge: funding.

Our primary mission is to help qualified organizations enter the vast and often arcane world of workplace giving, beginning with the United States government’s Combined Federal Campaign. We are governed by an independent board of directors and operate as a CFC federation in accordance with regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Membership in the Arts Federation is open to organizations active in the arts that are 501(c)(3) tax exempt and meet the tests of fiscal accountability, governance and programmatic impact required by the campaigns we enter.

We share an administrative staff with sister federations involved in workplace giving. This allows us to offer our services at low cost while maintaining high quality. Our partnership – the Workplace Giving Alliance – is committed to upholding a high standard of efficiency, transparency and stewardship of pledged funds.
