All About TACA

Make a Gift

A gift to TACA supports the entire arts community, not just one organization. In our 50-year history, TACA has invested more than $28 million to support and strengthen the arts community. Our grants translate to new premieres and productions, impactful residencies, community initiatives and more. Our dynamic service programs help over 200 employees from nearly 100 different arts organizations do what they do better.

Our Work

TACA exists to invest in and nurture arts organizations by providing visionary and impactful leadership to the arts community. By offering flexible funding and essential resources, such as professional development workshops, leadership, and business development training, we are committed to helping arts organizations focus less time on operational challenges and more on executing innovative and impactful programs that transform lives through the arts.
