Now through December 31, the SDK Foundation for Human Dignity will match every donation dollar for dollar, up to $150,000.
Your gift will go twice as far in helping AFI protect artists, defend free expression, and advance artistic freedom worldwide. Donate today!
As illiberal governments undermine the independence of cultural institutions and target artists, writers, and scholars, we must remember that arts and culture are essential to free and open societies.
This is why AFI’s work is more important than ever. Since 2017, Artistic Freedom Initiative (AFI) has supported more than 4,700 artists, cultural workers, and dependent family members facing censorship, persecution, and forced displacement. Through direct assistance, public arts programming, and global advocacy, we help artists find safety, sustain their creative practices, and exercise their right to free expression.
As threats to artistic freedom grow in the United States and around the world, AFI remains steadfast in its mission.
