Building the Future of Arts Philanthropy in India | Donate to the IFA Corpus

This comes to you at an exciting juncture as India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) marks a special milestone of 30 Years of grant and project implementation. Thank you for your support, partnership, collaboration, and for being fellow travellers with us over the last three decades! 

IFA has been growing its work steadily and continuously in the last three decades. Our initial impulse to build a facilitative space for arts and culture still holds. It is rooted in the aspirations and the needs of the field and driven by our commitment to creating an inclusive arts ecosystem where transparency, empathy, diversity, and criticality drive creative possibilities. These values are also the compass with which we shape every programme, project, grant and other initiatives. 

We celebrate all those who have nurtured us over the years—artists, researchers, experts, institutions, staff, Trustees, partners, donors, the arts community—and all of you, who have participated wholeheartedly in our work. 

On this special milestone, we have another aspiration: to grow our Corpus and continue to strengthen the arts philanthropy ecosystem in India. We aim to raise Rs 5 Crore in the next two years.

In the video, Menaka Rodriguez speaks about the importance of arts and culture today, our work that has traversed boundaries and geographies, and invites you to be part of our world through your support. For the arts to thrive, we need connections, collectives, and your generosity. She invites you to join us to build something meaningful together that can endure into the future.

You can support by contributing to The IFA Corpus Fund at any amount. Your invaluable donation will be eligible for 80G tax-exemption and will be acknowledged on our website and in our Annual Report. This will go a long way in ensuring that IFA remains that vital piece in the arts.
