Abstract

Between 1963 and 1983, not only was there a tremendous growth in the amount of money given to the arts by foundations, corporations, and government, but a substantial shift in the mix of these funds as well. While corporate support has remained a solidly important source, government funding has become increasingly important to the arts as foundation support has become less so. Given the dependence of arts organizations on these sources, the range of focus and purpose of their programs and their expectations for the future are important. A survey of private and corporate foundations and corporate giving programs highlights the hesitation of both of these groups to support artistic projects directly, experimental work, or newly established organizations. Additionally, both foundations and corporations have become more likely to fund administrative projects and arts service organizations. This range of focus of government support is very broad, but the purpose of this funding has been controversial. The short-term future of arts funding does not appear as dim as recently expected, and may bring increases.
