The Supporting Act Foundation is a self-governing non-profit organization that operates as a grantmaking body for the arts. The foundation provides financial support to emerging artists and arts-focused nonprofits, particularly those from underrepresented or marginalized groups. Its Artist Grants offer unrestricted funding to early-career creatives
to improve financial stability and expand time for artistic practice. Its Impact Grants provide multi-year structural support to grassroots cultural organizations, helping them cover core operating costs. The foundation also runs collaborative programs such as the Will Smith Emerging Artist Fund, which supports early-stage musicians through targeted bursaries. In addition to funding, it leverages partnerships, visibility, and trust-based philanthropy to help grantees develop projects and drive positive change in their communities.
