About Work for Art

The arts belong to everyone. The arts are more than singing, dancing, painting, sculpting and writing. A community rich with arts and culture attracts families, companies, and tourists – who in turn create more energy and financial support for schools and vital services. The arts need everyone's support to thrive.


Our Organization
Donations to Work for Art’s Community Fund and Arts Education Fund support more than 80 vital arts and culture organizations every year—encompassing dance, visual arts, music, literary arts, media arts, theater, cultural arts, and arts education. Work for Art raises these funds primarily through employee charitable campaigns at workplaces in Oregon and SW Washington. A rigorous grant process directs funds to where they will be most useful and assures that every dollar donated makes a valuable impact on the community as a whole. All nonprofit arts organizations based in Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County are eligible to apply for these grants.
