Helping emerging artists thrive
The Supporting Act Foundation is committed to the creation of better opportunities in the arts. We strive to carve out spaces for emerging artists, particularly those from underrepresented communities, and we offer support to nonprofits already working to empower them.
Our annual grant programs see our expert juries reviewing submissions received through our open calls and exist to offer artists the resources they need to realize their ambitions. We are dedicated to a trust-based approach to philanthropy, promoting growth and equity, no strings attached.

Our mission is to enable emerging artists dedicated to fulfilling their creative potential, prioritizing those from under-represented or marginalized groups.
We aim to support ambitious non-profit organizations, enabling them to create more equitable art scenes and fostering opportunities for growth and expansion in their work.
