The New York Arts Recovery Fund provided grants to artists and arts organizations that suffered economic losses as a result of the events of September 11, 2001.
NYFA developed the New York Arts Recovery Fund for New York’s artists and arts organizations that were affected by the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Through partnerships with organizations such as the Alliance of Resident Theaters/New York, New York City Arts Coalition, Nonprofit Finance Fund, Asian American Arts Alliance, and other organizations, the fund granted $4.6 million dollars to 352 individuals and 135 organizations. Awards were based on need, and were made to those who experienced a significant degree of loss as a direct result of 9/11, whether by the need to relocate space in which recipients lived or worked, clean up of debris, loss of income due to cancelled performances or exhibitions, or health related expenses. Grants were awarded to a maximum of $10,000 for individuals and $50,000 for organizations.
