OUR MISSION

To celebrate and fund the arts in and around Ridgewood.

The Ridgewood Arts Foundation (RAF) is a New Jersey based non-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, and is thereby recognized as a public charitable foundation.

RAF was formed in 2016 with the dual purpose of funding and celebrating the visual and performing arts. We achieve these objectives by awarding grants and scholarships to amateur and professional artists, middle school age to adult, while also bringing the visual and performing arts to our community through cultural events that educate and entertain.

We ask for your support as we continue to expand our positive impact within the local arts community. Your tax-deductible donation will help us advance the creative development of local artists and arts organizations. To date, we have awarded nearly 200 grants and scholarships!

Please visit the SUPPORT RAF page or click on the DONATE TODAY button to learn about Donor Amenities and how you can help us achieve our mission. No amount is too big, or too small.

Thank you for your support.
