Did you know California Arts Advocates helped to ensure the reopening of live arts and culture events in CA?

This last year we have learned more than ever how critical it is to have a lobbying voice for arts and culture in state government.
Your support makes the difference!

CAA is a 501(c)(4) lobbying organization that relies solely on your membership dues to fund our work. We don’t have access to CARES relief, no opportunity for PPP loans, no ARPA funds, and just one grant funder for our work. The majority of our work is funded by your dues. We need your help today.

Our fiscal year ends June 30, 2021. Even as we advocate at the Capitol on dozens of calls each day to secure a significant investment in the recovery of arts, culture and live events, and meet virtually with nonprofit arts and cultural groups across the state, we are working to close our fiscal year and remain the strong, vibrant organization that you have helped us build.

If you are a nonprofit organization, sole proprietor or small business in the arts, you don’t need to hire your own lobbyists, CAA has got your back.
