   Foundation Grants to Arts and Culture, 2008 (2.4Mb)

Arts Funding 2000, a study completed by The Foundation Center and commissioned by Grantmakers in the Arts, is the companion to Arts Funding III: An Update on Foundation Trends published in 1998. This second volume focuses issues and trends in grantmaking through the eyes of grantmakers themselves.

The first half of the 1990s represented a period of instability in arts support. Dramatic cutbacks in federal funding and modest growth in giving from individual and corporate donors raised significant financial challenges for the arts community. Although they were but one part of a much larger funding mosaic, foundations represented a stable and growing source of funds.
