The New England Foundation for the Arts is a nonprofit organization that advances arts and culture through grants, partnerships, and advocacy across New England and beyond. It was founded in 1976 as one of six regional arts organizations created with support from the National Endowment for the Arts to strengthen the national arts infrastructure by developing regional arts. Based in Boston, New England, NEFA supports artists and communities through opportunities in creating, presenting, and touring new work across performing arts disciplines and public art, with a scope that spans regional, national, and international activities. NEFA operates as a grantmaker, program initiator, resource aggregator, and facilitator of collaborations among artists, arts organizations, funders, and partners; its work is complemented by convenings, network-building, and online tools. A notable 2026 development includes the appointment of Sara Nash as the organization’s first Chief Impact Officer to oversee impact across its programs. Recent activity includes grant support to initiatives such as the Asian American Ballet Project and Public Art Works, and the launch of a new Grants Application and Reporting portal in 2025.
