New Zealand artists are loved around the world, so much so that people are willing to dig deep to support them. We, at the Arts Foundation, think this is great. Being able to give a little, or a lot, means anyone and everyone can be involved in the arts. Established to grow private support for the arts, the Arts Foundation is a patron's organisation. It produces the annual Macquarie Private Wealth New Zealand Arts Awards where over $400,000 is awarded to artists of the highest standards. In 2013 the Arts Foundation launched Boosted, a crowd-funding website to enable arts projects to access philanthropic support. For more information visit: www.thearts.co.nz
