I am here for Networking

About Me

Who We Are: Artists For The Arts Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to producing fundraising concerts to benefit the arts in our public schools.
What We Do: With the help of the community and corporate/private sponsorships, we produce unforgettable concerts featuring well known artists and local students performing together. And 100% of the ticket sales go directly to fund arts education programs!
Why We Do It: It's a proven fact that the Arts enrich all aspects of a child's life. Unfortunately, state and local governments across the nation continue to cut or reduce the funds needed to sustain these programs. When public school budgets need cutting the Arts are the first to go. Sad but true. We refuse to stand by and watch this happen. AFTA Foundation wants to save those programs and keep them right where they belong.
How We Do It: Our sponsors are the key to making this happen. Their tax deductible contribution covers all of our production costs, which ensures that 100% of the ticket sales go directly to fund arts education programs. The Ed Foundation or School District is able to use that money to pay for teachers, supplies, instruments, productions, costumes..…anything necessary to keep the arts programs alive and thriving!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

How You Can Help AFTA Foundation to SAVE THE ARTS:

SPONSORS: We need the help of large corporations, small business owners or private donors who would like to sponsor a concert or a full tour (local or national). You are the key to “Giving 100%!”

ARTISTS: These concerts work because of the generous headline artists who appreciate the importance of what we’re doing and who can bring in a music hungry crowd! The bigger the crowd, the more funds for the arts! Not only will you have an amazing time, but you will contribute to an unforgettable night for those student musicians who are lucky enough to perform with you! And you can feel confident in knowing that this is a top notch production. Full lights, PA and security are provided. We will do everything in our power to make this a fun and smooth experience for you.

ED FOUNDATIONS/SCHOOL DISTRICTS: We know you need our help. AFTA Foundation will work closely with the event committee you establish and bring this event to the stage in a smooth and professional manner. Now that you know who we are, what we can do and how we do it, please contact us and lets see what we can do together to save the arts in your public schools!
