New Funding Opportunity for Strauss Fellows
Arts Council of Fairfax County Partners with United States Artists to offer new funding opportunity for Strauss Fellowship Recipients
The Arts Council of Fairfax County is partnering with United States Artists on USA Projects, an online community where accomplished artists can post projects, arts supporters can help fund projects with tax-deductible donations, and partner organizations can join in with match funds. Strauss Fellowship recipients are now eligible to utilize the USA Projects site to raise funds for their projects.
USA Projects is designed to stimulate support for creative projects and foster direct and ongoing interaction among artists and supporters. The site showcases original projects from national award-winning artists, each with its own fundraising goal and deadline, at www.unitedstatesartists.org. The public can browse, learn about artists and their past works, and donate to any active project that inspires them. Donors can give as little as $1 or as much as they would like and receive a tax deduction as well as reward perks offered by participating artists. All projects are vetted and approved by experts in each artistic discipline prior to being posted for public contributions. If a project reaches its fundraising goal by the deadline, it is funded. If it does not reach its goal, no pledges are processed, and the artist does not receive any funding.
