GIA Funding Partners

Grantmakers in the Arts acknowledges the generous support of our Funding Partners, who provide support above and beyond member dues. These contributions assist GIA with both general operating support and special programs and services. 

GIA especially acknowledges its Funding Partner donors who provide multi-year grants, which are essential for the development and sustainability of programs over time, and the Leadership Circle, who make gifts of $10,000 and above.
