Overview
A grant was awarded in March 2014 to Californians for the Arts. However, due to complications with the IRS and the organization's active tax status, Hewlett was unable to pay the grant to Californians for the Arts. The grant was canceled and is now being reissued to the fiscal sponsor, Intersection for the Arts.

Specifically, the organization will 1) educate arts makers and supporters on the opportunities to restore public funding for the arts and arts education, 2) train and equip arts advocates through in-person trainings, monthly news updates, and online advocacy toolkit, 3) plan Arts Advocacy Day in Sacramento, 4) educate lawmakers and their staff on the value of arts and arts education, and 5) support local arts advocacy efforts such as Arts Town Hall held in August in San Francisco for local political candidates.
