The FATA Fund, Inc. or the Fashion and Arts Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed to enrich and provide critical support for emerging Fashion Designers and Artists to showcase their work and gain financial stability with their talents. We specifically target those from under-served areas, to lead to building community success. We believe: Fashion and Art exudes creativity and creativity shapes healthy viable communities.
FATA Fund supplies critical support and referral services to artists experiencing hardship. We help guide artists to local government agencies, municipalities, associations, corporations and other private and public organizations that assist individuals in need.
Our team is made up of passionate and talented individuals who are committed to making a difference through the arts. From our board of directors to our volunteers, everyone at The FATA Fund is dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive arts community.
WHY FASHION?
Simple; it connects people globally and is one of the strongest expressions of self-identity. Fashion inspires and nurture self-confidence. It documents culture traditions, unites people and propels innovation. We support and sustain art because we recognize that a thriving arts district is a community’s cultural hub. The vitality of our mission encourages young people to pursue creative endeavors, careers and entrepreneurship in Fashion and in the Arts.
