The Arab Fund for Arts & Culture presents its new website, in English and Arabic, with announcements of grants programmes, including touring support.

The Arab Fund for Arts & Culture is a private independent Arab initiative dedicated to empowering the Arab contemporary narrative through strategic cultural philanthropy.

AFAC seeks to deliver a sustainable funding mechanism for individuals and organizations in the fields of film making, performing, visual arts, literature, research, training and capacities building, while simultaneously facilitating cultural exchanges across the Arab region.

The Fund’s journey began in 2004 as an initiative by “Al Mawred Al Thaqafy” (Culture Resource; an independent cultural organization based in Cairo) in consultation with over forty corporations, cultural organizations, individuals and major donors such as the Open Society Institute, The Emirates Foundation and the Ford Foundation all working in the region.
