The Supporting Act Foundation is a self-governing non-profit organization established by WeTransfer in 2021 to foster diversity in the arts and create better opportunities for marginalized groups. We help emerging artists and artist-led organizations fulfill their potential, develop their practices and projects, and drive positive change in their communities and in society.

Our grant programs were launched in 2022, following in-depth research with Barcelona-based creative lab IAM. These programs seek to address the challenges that face those under-represented in the arts, from lack of resources to lack of opportunities, nurturing new voices and perspectives to transform the sector, and society, for the better. Throughout our activities, we cultivate a trust-based approach, giving artists and organizations the space they need to pursue their goals.

Today, The Supporting Act Foundation has completed three open calls, awarding grants to a diverse range of artists and artist-led organizations, who are already making real impacts around social, intersectional, and environmental justice. Head to the Grantees page to read more about them.

If you’d like to help us in delivering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts—and meaningful change in society—we’d love to hear from you.

WeTransfer has long been committed to giving back to its global creative community, donating 30% of all advertising space to support artists; speaking out on pressing issues like climate change; and establishing the world’s first free Master’s program in partnership with the University of the Underground.

To celebrate our launch, the company donated €1 million to The Supporting Act Foundation, pledging a further 1% of annual revenue each year plus access to its global advertising and editorial platforms.
