Because of you, we can provide critical resources that support artists and cultural organizations to thrive.

Giving is easy!

If you have any questions about how to donate or the impact of your gift on artists across New England, please contact Sharon Timmel, Development Director, at stimmel@nefa.org or 617-865-1846.
