Grants to the Allied Arts Fund

Allied Arts administers three grants annually, including $12,000 from the Stanford Adelstein Advised Fund, $2,000 from the Pailing Family. Grants are awarded to non-profit organizations to fund arts projects, particularly those that benefit populations that are otherwise underserved. Organizations receiving grant monies need not be Allied Arts Fund Members.
