To deploy funding to as many performing artists and performing arts groups as possible during 2026 and beyond
To successfully promote NPAFE as a world center for innovating “film-first” performing artistry immersive filmmaking
NPAFE’s goals for 2026 are:
- To secure funding during 2026 of at least $3.5 million, primarily from corporate sponsors, to be allocated to deserving performing artists projects nationally and internationally.
- To secure $12-22 million for the production of Arc and Sound of Dance.
- To extend the reach of that funding to selected artists from other countries who are creating performances, workshops, or educational programs for presentation in the United States and jointly in other countries.
- To “share the wealth” by deploying that funding to as many performing artists and performing arts groups as possible during 2025 and beyond.
- To provide fiscal agent and other business and marketing services that these artists may need, and to do it for free (pro bono).
- To assure that the percentage of funds used internally for NPAFE general and administrative expenses is less than 15%, ideally less than 10%. The less-than-10% goal has been achieved every year so far since NPAFE’s founding in 2016.
