The NPAFE Mission

Creative genius of great value always emerges from the Performing Arts

The National Performing Arts Funding Exchange — NPAFE — is a 501 c 3 not-for-profit Corporation organized and registered in Washington D.C. Contributions to NPAFE are tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.

THIS IS OUR MISSION. 

  • TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING available to support performing arts commissions, new works, live and digital performances, and advanced degree scholarships and stipends.
  • TO LOCATE THAT FUNDING from corporate sources by offering them exclusive access to the so-far largely untapped online 18-34 and high-end audiences that are loyal to brands sponsoring ballet and contemporary dance.
  • TO PROVIDE OUR OWN PRO BONO SUPPORT to performing artists whenever we can, for example marketing, financial counseling, fiscal agency services, and general business advice.
