Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
e Andrew W. Mellon Foundation today announced $10 million in emergency grants to six United States Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs) to help launch a new United States Regional Arts Resilience Fund to support small to midsized arts organizations across the country. The COVID-19 crisis has created unprecedented financial obstacles for the arts, with some estimates placing losses for the sector at $6.8 billion — the equivalent of a 26 percent deficit for organizations in the field over the course of just one year. Losses of that magnitude will have a sweeping effect on the arts and culture landscape across the nation.
To help mitigate the financial threat to the sector, the new fund will support small and midsized arts organizations in all artistic disciplines that are regarded by their peers as having statewide, regional, or national impact. The fund will also prioritize organizations that are most at risk during this crisis, including historically underresourced organizations, as well as those serving underresourced populations, communities, and/or art forms. The $10 million in grants from the Mellon Foundation will provide initial funding for the project and is part of the Foundation’s COVID-19 response — a $200 million effort on top of its $300 million originally planned for 2020 — to sustain the arts and humanities during this international crisis. The fund represents the first time that the six RAOs have collaborated to develop and implement a national program.
