To
ensure that the arts, in all their diversity, are nurtured
and valued because they enrich individual and community life
and are critical to envisioning the future of our society.
Mission
To
enrich the practice, knowledge, public access to, and experience
of the arts in India, by providing strategic support for innovative
projects and capacity building across the arts.
Values

The
arts are indispensable to individual and community well being.
Support for the arts should be widely accessible without prejudice

the business of arts philanthropy.

Programmes
IFA
makes grants to individuals and organizations with the aim
of filling important gaps in private and public assistance
for culture and the arts in India. IFA grant programmes variously
respond to existing demand for assistance, provide opportunities
for artists to explore untried processes and new connections
in the arts, or address systemic issues in the field. IFA's
grants support all forms of cultural expression, while accommodating
work that falls outside specific domains of art, blurs disciplinary
boundaries or anticipates new modes of artistic production
and presentation. -
