Supporting the arts for over 50 years

Artist Grants

Allied Arts Foundation provides $15,000 a year in grants to artists. Each year the specific genre changes. Our 2022 awards support CRAFTS for artists living in western Washington. All entrants will be juried for possible inclusion in a Bellevue Arts Museum crafts exhibition scheduled for the fall of 2023!

Fiscal Sponsorship

If you are seeking to accept donations for your arts-related project, or need a non-profit status to apply for outside grants, we can help. Allied Arts Foundation can provide 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship so that anyone donating to your project can receive a tax deduction for their gift.
