New York Foundation for Arts
The New York Foundation for the Arts’ mission is to empower artists at critical stages in their creative lives.
NYFA was established in 1971 by the New York State Council on the Arts as an independent organization to facilitate the development of the individual artist throughout the state. NYFA’s ability to provide Fiscal Sponsorship to individual artists and emerging organizations was established in 1976, and NYFA currently sponsors more than 368 Artists’ Projects and 52 Emerging Organizations, in addition to supporting many others through its core programs.
