Foundation Funding for Arts Education (311 Kb)
Key Findings
- Support for arts pedagogy grew 57 percent between 1999 and 2012
- Performing arts education benefited from roughly half of arts didactics giving
- Arts organizations received three out of five arts teaching dollars and 4 out of five arts education grants
- A majority of arts education grants targeted children and youth
Arts education provides the means for sharing beautiful and provocative ideas and images, cultural and political knowledge, and insights well-nigh humanity beyond generations. In a earth that grows always more populous and competitive, arts education also offers a means for nurturing the creative thinking that will ideally lead to ameliorate solutions to the world's many challenges.
To certificate the size and telescopic of arts pedagogy grantmaking by U.s. foundations, Foundation Center and Grantmakers in the Arts collaborated on a 2005 report, Foundation Funding for Arts Education. The report examined foundation grantmaking for arts education betwixt 1999 and 2003 and represented the most comprehensive analysis of foundation arts pedagogy support available. This new report updates the analysis of foundation arts didactics funding through 2012 and illustrates how support for arts education has evolved during a period of pronounced economical volatility and dramatic political and technological change.
Defining Arts Instruction Grantmaking
For the purpose of this study, arts education grantmaking has been divided into the major areas of multidisciplinary arts education, performing arts didactics, visual arts instruction, museum arts teaching, and literary arts teaching and broadly divers as supporting:
- Single-discipline and multidisciplinary arts-in-teaching and arts and educational activity organizations and programs
- Educational activities and outreach programs of museums, performing arts companies, visual arts centers, and other arts groups
- Development of arts curriculum, arts-related classroom space, and arts and performing arts facilities at schools, colleges, and universities
- Scholarships, fellowships, and residencies for young and emerging artists provided through arts groups and degree-granting arts institutions
- Community arts schools and arts education programs conducted by multipurpose community organizations and youth evolution groups
- Research on the part and effectiveness of arts education and advocacy to aggrandize and heighten its influence
Trends in Arts Education Funding, 1999 through 2012
Since 1999, this country has experienced an unprecedented economical boom, a stock marketplace downturn and recession, economic recovery, a major economical crisis, and another economic recovery — albeit tedious and uneven. Despite these dramatic swings, giving for arts educational activity by funders included in Foundation Heart's annual grants set up (see "Sampling Base" for details) rose 57 percent, from $193.7 1000000 in 1999 to $304.4 million in 2012. (Adjusted for inflation, arts education giving rose fourteen per centum.) This charge per unit of growth was slower than the increment in overall foundation giving recorded during this period but on par with growth in arts funding overall. Equally a consequence, arts pedagogy's share of total arts funding remained steady at merely over 14 percent. By number of grants awarded, arts educational activity support grew 49 percent during this period, from roughly ii,500 to over 3,700 grants.
While giving for arts education increased between 1999 and 2012, growth was not consequent throughout this period. Arts education grant dollars grew steadily between 1999 and 2005, and this growth accelerated between 2006 and 2008. Grant dollars for the field peaked at $410.2 meg in 2008, provided through four,027 grants. In the first total twelvemonth of the Bully Recession, however, funding for arts education declined 28 percent. Information technology then rebounded slightly in 2010 earlier slipping an additional three per centum in 2011. The arts instruction field returned to strong growth in funding in 2012, when grant dollars increased a robust eighteen percent.
The Robina Foundation led all other funders by amount of giving for arts education in 2012, with a single $18 million grant to Yale University to endow the Binger Center for New Theater. If capital grants were excluded, the Andrew Due west. Mellon Foundation would have ranked as the top arts didactics funder. The foundation made 34 not-capital arts education grants totaling $14.2 million in 2012, with the majority supporting curriculum and program development. Its overall arts educational activity support totaled $sixteen.three million.
Among the top 25 arts pedagogy funders in 2012, a total of xiii allocated at least x percent of their funding for the field. Those directing the largest shares to arts education included the Herb Alpert Foundation (68.two percentage), Robina Founda-tion (68.one percentage), Colburn Foundation (63.1 percent), and Karsh Family Foundation (61.3 percent). By comparison, the second-ranked Mellon Foundation directed vi.four percentage of its full dollars to arts education.
Finally, recently established foundations constituted a growing segment of arts teaching funders. Overall, the number of arts instruction funders rose from 507 in 1999 to simply over 580 in 2006, before slipping back to 560 in 2012. In the 2012 set, foundations formed since 1995 represented xviii percent of the number of arts education funders in the sample, and these foundations awarded roughly one-quarter of arts didactics dollars. Foundations established during this period that ranked among summit arts education funders included the Robina Foundation (2004), John and Lisa Pritzker Family Fund (2002), Colburn Foundation (1999), Sherwood Foundation (1999), Karsh Family Foundation (1997), and Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (1997).
Arts Education Funding past Grant Size
A substantial share of arts education grants are small. In 2012, over two-fifths (44 percent) of arts education grants were for less than $25,000, compared to just under two-fifths (39 per centum) of foundation grants overall. This modestly higher proportion for arts education may reverberate a heavier concentration of plan grants, which tend to be smaller on boilerplate than near other types of back up.
By comparison, arts education grants of at least $1 million accounted for just 1 percent of the number of grants awarded but nearly xxx percent of arts pedagogy dollars. In 2012, the majority of these large arts education grants provided capital back up, and 71 percentage of the grant dollars allocated through these big grants funded capital projects. As a result, the average arts educational activity grant ($81,540) was more than three times the size of the median or typical grant ($25,000).
Arts Education Funding by Foundation Blazon
Independent foundations account for the dominant share of foundation giving for arts teaching, regardless of the blazon of support awarded. They provided roughly 93 per centum of capital support dollars for arts education in 1999 and 2012. Among arts education funding for other types of back up, independent foundations accounted for 83 percentage of grant dollars in 1999 and 77 percent in 2012. Still, community foundations played an important office in supporting arts education. While they provided a relatively modest 5 percent of capital support dollars and 12 percent of dollars for all other types of support in 2012, community foundations accounted for close to i-fifth (19 pct) of the number of capital support grants for arts education and one-quarter (24 percent) of the number of all other arts didactics grants. Similarly, corporate foundations awarded about 9 percentage of 2012 arts education grant dollars but over twice that share of grants (xix percent).
Priorities in Arts Teaching Funding
Performing Arts Pedagogy
Overall, performing arts education accounted for roughly half of arts education grant dollars and grants in 2012. Music education constituted the biggest share of performing arts education dollars (34 percentage), followed past "Other Performing Arts Instruction" (27 per centum), which includes funding for multidisciplinary performing arts education institutions and programs and theater. A smaller share of funding supported dance teaching (12 pct). Support for performing arts education more than doubled between 1999 and 2012 — funding rose 103 percent over 1999 (47 percentage later inflation) — and growth in this expanse far exceeded increases in arts instruction funding overall. Giving was boosted by in a higher place-average growth in the number of grants — notably in the areas of dance and theater teaching. In add-on, 5 of the x largest arts education grants in 2012 benefited performing arts education, including the largest overall arts education grant: an $18 1000000 capital support grant awarded by the Robina Foundation to Yale University to endow the Binger Center for New Theater.
Amid the largest funders of performing arts education were the Robina Foundation (noted above) and the Karsh Family unit Foundation, which gave $9.1 one thousand thousand through two grants, the majority of which was awarded to Duke Academy'southward Karsh International School for its endowment and the Jazz Loft Projection.1 The 3rd-ranked Herb Alpert Foundation provided $3.vi million nationally to performing arts teaching institutions, followed closely past the Colburn Foundation, which also gave $3.vi million in grants mainly to Los Angeles area–based performing arts institutions. Several foundations targeted arts teaching programs for underserved or minority youth. For example, the Prudential Foundation awarded $220,000 to the Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation (NY) for AileyCamp Newark and AileyDance Kids Newark, an arrangement dedicated to using dance to enhance the lives of underserved children.
Multidisciplinary Arts Education
Funding for multidisciplinary arts education, which includes broad arts-in-didactics centers and programs, multidisciplinary arts schools, and indigenous arts education programs, besides doubled between 1999 and 2012. Adapted for inflation, funding was up 46 pct. The growth in the number of grants also significantly increased during this time (up 72 per centum).This area accounted for the second largest share of arts education dollars (28 pct) and grants (28 percent). Inside the field of multidisciplinary arts education, support for wide ethnic arts education programs increased 11-fold.two Among the larger grants awarded for ethnic arts didactics in 2012 was a $100,000 grant from the Coca-Cola Foundation to the National Black Arts Festival for its education programs.
The Arkansas-based Windgate Charitable Foundation was the largest funder of multipurpose arts pedagogy programs. Windgate awarded $vi.6 million beyond 39 grants, including a $2 million award to the Penland School of Crafts (NC), an international eye for craft education; and a $1 1000000 grant to Boston-based North Bennet Street Schoolhouse, a trade and craftsmanship school for new facilities. The second-ranked William and Flora Hewlett Foundation provided $four.5 million, including $1.i million to the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association for the Reinvigorating Arts Education in California projection. Other leading funders of arts-in-the-schools and arts and pedagogy programs included the Wallace, A. W. Mellon, Kresge, and Surdna Foundations and the Houston Endowment.
Visual Arts Education
Visual arts education, which includes multipurpose visual arts programs and centers and those with a single focus, such as photography or sculpture, received 14 per centum of arts didactics dollars in 2012. This area deemed for the tertiary largest share of arts didactics dollars and grants. Several of the biggest visual arts educational activity grants provided uppercase back up — including the largest grant, a $five.half dozen 1000000 award past the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation to the University of Arkansas for the construction of the Steven l. Anderson Pattern Center. Many of the grants were awarded to colleges and universities for fine arts programs, to museums exclusively for visual arts pedagogy programming, and to visual arts didactics organizations benefiting children and youth. In the latter category, the Ford Foundation awarded a $446,529 grant to the Jakarta-based Kampung Halaman Foundation for the work of a national youth-led network to produce multimedia digital content, conduct online media campaigns, and strengthen youth leadership in local decision-making processes; the Surdna Foundation awarded $270,000 to the Maryland Found College of Art for mentoring, back up, and fiscal aid to high schoolhouse students and visual art teachers engaged in intensive, summer residency studio fine art experiences that will increment skills for both college preparedness, teacher quality, and touch; and the James Irvine Foundation provided $185,000 to Big Draw LA, to concord a series of participatory public cartoon events at traditional and nontraditional venues and to develop a mobile device application to engage younger audiences in creating and sharing their drawings. As well included in this subfield were grants to visual arts schools for tuition assist for immature visual artists.
Museum Arts Teaching
Funding for broad-based museum arts education declined between 1999 and 2012, and its share of arts instruction dollars fell from 20 percent to 6.9 percentage. Contributing to this reduction were the two top museum arts funders in 1999: the Robert W. Woodruff and Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundations. The Woodruff Foundation reported substantially lower levels of giving for this purpose, while the Kauffman Foundation did not award whatsoever grants for this area in 2012. The share of number of grants also decreased, from 8.6 percent to 4.half dozen percent. The majority of support targeted general education activities, facilities, and resource of art museums. Grants also supported educational programs of general purpose, children's, ethnic/folk arts, history, and specialized museums.three Similar to other fields of arts instruction funding, a few of the very largest museum grants supported upper-case letter projects, such as the Champlin Foundations' $250,000 grant to the Rhode Island School of Design to consummate the Radeke building restoration projection at the Museum of Art. Nevertheless, the vast majority of grant dollars and grants for museum arts didactics supported programming, including school-based programs. For example, 2012 grants included $150,000 in back up from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to the Children'due south Museum of Pittsburgh to establish hands-on learning laboratories in museums, libraries, and classrooms in West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania; and PNC Foundation's $100,000 grant for the Fernbank Museum of Natural History (GA) for a collaboration with the Robert Woodruff Arts Center (Young Audiences Woodruff) and Sheltering Arms Early Pedagogy and Family unit Center.
Literary Arts Pedagogy
Funding for literary arts teaching accounted for ii.6 percentage of arts education support in 2012, down slightly from the 3.1 percent share in 1999. Nonetheless, the number of grants awarded increased from 78 to 96 grants. Since even the largest funders of literary arts education reported, on average, 2 or fewer grants, this finding reflects an increment in the number of funders making grants. Within this subfield, the types of programs supported ranged from undergraduate and graduate literature programs to school- and customs-based programs in poesy, literature, reading, and artistic writing. Amid the larger grants awarded for this area was a $896,000 award from the Andrew Due west. Mellon Foundation to Volume Arts Press (VA) for the Andrew West. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography; a $250,000 honour from the Zell Family Foundation to the University of Michigan for the MFA Creative Writing programme; and the Dark-brown Foundation'southward $80,000 grant to Writers in the Schools (TX) for in-school creative writing workshops and artist visits.
Arts Instruction Funding past Recipient Type
Arts education giving overwhelmingly targets arts organizations, with entities that focus exclusively on multidisciplinary arts education, postsecondary arts educational activity, and performing arts education capturing the largest shares of support. In 2012, just over 3-fifths of arts educational activity grant dollars and nearly four-fifths of grants supported arts organizations. Multidisciplinary arts education organizations — e.grand., the Harlem School of the Arts (NY) and the Centre for Arts-Inspired Learning (OH) — deemed for the largest share of funding (12 percent) amidst arts organizations. Following these organizations by share of grant dollars were arts-focused college and graduate educational institutions (xi percent) — e.g., the Juilliard Schoolhouse (NY) and Berklee College of Music (MA) — and performing arts educational activity organizations (8 percentage) — east.g., the Colburn School of the Performing Arts (CA) and Lincoln Middle Institute (NY). Other arts organizations receiving at least 5 percentage of arts education giving in 2012 included music organizations and museums.
Arts education giving in the latest twelvemonth also heavily focused on general purpose higher and graduate educational institutions and elementary and secondary schools. Together, these institutions accounted for 36 percent of 2012 grant dollars and 16 per centum of grants. The majority of this support targeted arts programs of higher and graduate educational institutions, including several exceptionally large upper-case letter and full general operating support grants. By comparing, elementary and secondary schools received less than five percent of total arts education grant dollars. In general, this finding reflects the disinclination of almost grantmakers to provide funding to public unproblematic and secondary schools directly.
Finally, the number of organizations in the sample benefiting from arts education support jumped almost 30 percent betwixt 1999 and 2012, from only over 1,500 to more than 1,950. Nonetheless, the boilerplate number of grants received past organizations in 2012 — 2 grants — was unchanged from 1999. Some institutions, notwithstanding, received far more grants. At the height of the list, the Kansas City Ballet Association received 28 grants, followed by the Juilliard School (21) and Children'southward Theater Visitor and School (20).
Arts Education Funding for Specific Populations
Inside their arts didactics giving, some foundations direct support to vulnerable or underserved populations, such equally to specific ethnic or racial groups or communities of color in full general and to the economically disadvantaged. This giving targets both subsets of children and youth — the predominant beneficiaries of arts teaching back up — and others.
For example, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation made a $352,000 grant to Living Arts (MI) to improve literacy, academic outcomes, and schoolhouse attendance for vulnerable children by providing support for the training of parents and teachers in arts-infused methodology, and making essential arts experiences bachelor in the Vistas Nuevas Caput Start Centers and schools of Southwest Detroit; and the James Irvine Foundation provided a $90,000 grant to Eastside Arts Brotherhood (CA) to develop a mural park, providing opportunities for low-income, Latino youth from East Oakland to create graffiti art murals.
Arts Education Funding by Funder and Recipient Region
Foundations in the Northeast provided the largest share of arts education funding in 2012 (36.3 per centum), led past funders based in New York and Pennsylvania. Three of the tiptop 10 arts instruction funders were located in the Northeast—the second-ranked Andrew West. Mellon Foundation (NY), sixth-ranked Wallace Foundation (NY), and ninth-ranked PNC Foundation (PA). The Midwest deemed for the second largest share of arts education grant dollars awarded (26.half-dozen percent), followed be the Due west (21.7 percent) and the South (fifteen.3 percent).
Given that the Northeast is dwelling to many of the largest arts education funders and prominent arts education institutions, it is non surprising that organizations in the region received the largest share of grant dollars (39.iv percent). Five of the top 10 recipients of arts education giving were based in the Northeast, led by Yale University, which received $20.8 meg.4 Following the Northeast by share of grant dollars received were organizations in the Due south (21.3 per centum), Midwest (twenty.3 percentage), and Westward (18.nine percentage).
Nearly all arts education grant dollars supported domestic programs. Just 2.three percent targeted cross-border recipients in 2012, while roughly 4.5 per centum funded US-based international arts programs.
Identifying Arts Pedagogy Grants
Consistent with the definition of arts teaching funding employed for this report (see "Defining Arts Educational activity Grantmaking"), this analysis includes all grants with a primary or secondary grant purpose or recipient type code for arts didactics or performing arts educational activity; a main grant purpose code for multidisciplinary arts, folk arts, arts councils, visual arts, art museums, ethnic/folk art museums, children's museums, performing arts, literary services, and arts and creative person's service activities and a secondary grant purpose lawmaking for education (excluding libraries); and a principal grant purpose code of education (excluding libraries), camps, and youth evolution and a secondary grant purpose code for multidisciplinary arts, folk arts, arts councils, visual arts, art museums, ethnic/folk art museums, children's museums, performing arts, literary services, and arts and artist'south service activities.
Looking Alee
Nigh a decade has passed since Foundation Center and Grantmakers in the Arts offset studied foundation funding for arts educational activity. That before exam noted that several newer foundations were showing an interest in arts pedagogy, which boded well for the field, and also that "Foundations have served every bit key proponents and supporters of arts pedagogy, and that role volition likely expand in the years alee." Both predictions held true equally arts education funding remained largely stable during a period markedly more volatile than was truthful of the preceding decades.
What comes side by side for arts education funding? Certainly, economical prospects appear healthier than in recent years, suggesting the potential for growth in overall arts pedagogy grantmaking. More disquisitional to the futurity of the field, withal, may well be the piece of work of electric current arts teaching funders in continuing to engage a new generation of donors. The contributions of arts teaching to a creative and prosperous society are well documented. Simply these learnings may need to be translated in a mode that engages donors who want to be more hands-on, encounter their priority as addressing specific populations, and may not immediately connect with how back up for arts education can facilitate those goals. Arts education is a powerful resource for ensuring greater equity in society, and funders need only find the nearly resonant means to brand this instance.
NOTES
- Capital support accounted for 23 percentage of arts education giving in 2012 and was relatively evenly distributed among the major arts pedagogy fields. For example, performing arts education represented approximately 46 per centum of overall grant dollars in the latest sample and 42 percent when uppercase support was excluded.
- Non all grants related to indigenous arts education are captured in the multidisciplinary arts didactics subfield. For example, some of these grants were included in visual arts and in performing arts instruction.
- Grants for science museum instruction programs were excluded from this analysis.
- If capital grants were excluded, Yale University'south arts pedagogy support would decrease to $two.eight million.
Sampling Base
The data presented in this study is based on Foundation Centre's annual grants sets. Each set includes all of the grants of $10,000 or more than awarded to organizations by one,000 of the largest United states foundations past total giving and represents roughly half of total grant dollars awarded by the universe of independent, corporate, community, and grantmaking operating foundations in that year. Specifically, the 2012 grants prepare included 153,821 grants totaling $22.four billion; and the 1999 set up included 81,112 grants totaling $viii.6 billion. Grants to individuals and grants from donor-designated and restricted funds of customs foundations are not included.
In-School and Out-of-Schoolhouse
In this report, Foundation Center did not differentiate between in-school and out-of-school programs.
Capital Support and All Other Support
For the purpose of this report, grants have been separated into uppercase (buildings/facilities) and all other types of back up (programmatic/administration/etc.).
