This Guide is intended as a starting point for grantseekers looking for foundation and corporate support for the visual and performing arts, arts education, museums, film and video, architecture and historic preservation, humanities and classical studies, literature and writing, and public radio and television. It includes 3,358 entries representing various types of grantmakers: 2,168 independent foundations, 129 community foundations, 53 grantmaking operating foundations, 707 company-sponsored foundations, and 301 direct corporate giving programs. In all, the Guide covers 924 corporations that support the arts through their foundations, direct giving programs or a combination of both. These foundations and corporations have expressed a substantial interest in arts and culture either as part of their stated purpose or through the actual grants they reported to the Foundation Center in 1988. The 7,211 arts and culture grants appearing in this Guide have a total dollar value of nearly $434 million. (Introduction)
