During this Pandemic - Support Arts and Culture

Enable Artists to create work and re-imagine the world in these difficult times

Support the IFA Fundraiser with Common Roots - A Social Cause Music Festival

We turn to the arts when we are joyful; we turn to the arts when we grieve. And in times of uncertainty and despair, we again turn to the arts for sustaining our hopes.

We need the arts more than ever to remind us of the human capacity to endure, re-imagine and create. As facilitator, catalyst and provocateur in the field of arts and culture, help IFA in our efforts, to enable artists to create work and re-imagine the world in these difficult times. Help us continue encouraging artistic interventions and cultural explorations by making many more grants to artists.

Join us every Saturday in May with the Common Roots Festival, a month-long festival that brings online concerts to you. IFA is delighted to be one of the featured non-profit beneficiaries of the festival. If you enjoy the festival, please do consider supporting IFA and donating generously!

Your support through donations to the ‘Fund for Supporting Arts and Culture during COVID-19’ (F-SAC) at IFA will go into grantmaking, ensuring that funds are made available to many more artists across our programmes. To donate, click here
