Every student deserves to be a part of the art. The Fund for Future Audiences makes that possible — subsidizing tickets and education services for students in under-resourced schools, colleges, and community organizations across the country.
"The Fund for Future Audiences exists to ensure that financial hurdles never stand between a student and a transformative arts experience. We believe the next generation of audiences, artists, and arts advocates are in classrooms right now — and everyone deserves to be a part of the art!"

CHANGE Maker
Note: CHANGE Arts cannot guarantee subsidies at this time. Our goal is to ensure every school and community organization can experience professional and community art in every discipline every year. As we grow the Fund for Future Audiences, we will do our best to meet financial need, while being an active fundraising partner — offering seed funding to jumpstart targeted fundraising on behalf of organizations, using local contacts and the CHANGE Arts community to help us meet our goals.
How the Fund Works
The FFA is designed to be self-sustaining: a percentage of all earned income from CHANGE Arts commissions and sales flows directly back into the Fund — replenishing it continuously. CHANGE Arts also fundraises independently to grow the available amounts for member use.
Earned income replenishes the Fund
A percentage of all commissions and sales earned through Find Your Art flows directly back into the FFA — making the Fund self-sustaining and continuously accessible.
Educators apply for funding
Educators submit a funding request directly from any event page. They describe how the event connects to their curriculum and how many students need support.
CHANGE Arts reviews & deploys
Our team reviews each request, prioritizes Title I and under-resourced schools and organizations, and creates a subsidized invoice for the school or organization while paying the full amount to the arts partner.
