FCA was founded in an effort to support performance artists through grants funded by the sale of donated artworks. The model was "Artists for Artists" as visual artists united to create the first benefit exhibition at the Allan Stone Gallery in support of their performance arts counterparts in 1963. Among early contributors to the Foundation's first benefit exhibition were

History
In the early 1960s, at a time when visual and performing artists were in constant collaboration, FCA founders - along with Robert Rauschenberg and other visual artists - assisted

and his dance company in his plan for a week of dance performances at a Broadway theater. In order to finance the performances, the benefit exhibition, the first of its kind, was organized at the Allan Stone Gallery. The benefit exhibition turned out to be a great success. Unfortunately, Cunningham's performances were not realized and the funds raised were then used to support the Cunningham company's world tour in 1964. Cunningham supported the notion that other performance artists that were "in the same boat" as he put it would continue to receive grants. Earlier grants had been given already to composers

Grant Programs
FCA has operated continuously since the 1960s. In 1993, the Directors of the Foundation chose to provide more significant sums to artists by awarding fewer, more substantial grants to individuals and groups by a nomination process only. Since then, FCA has operated four main programs:
Grants to Artists,
Emergency Grants,
Grants to Organizations and
John Cage Award.
Grants to Artists
As FCA's core program,
Grants to Artists awards unrestricted grants of $25,000 each to artists who demonstrate exceptional innovation and creativity. This program represents roughly 70% of FCA's total program disbursements and has awarded more than $3.5 million to support 155 artists and collective groups since 1993. Grant recipients are chosen through a confidential nomination and selection process. Each year, FCA invites a group of distinguished artists and art professionals to nominate individuals anonymously. Nominators are asked to propose artists for whom they feel an FCA award would make a substantial and timely impact. After nominations and work samples have been collected, a panel of artists and arts professionals meets to review nominees and select grantees. Through this process, grantees are both proposed and selected by peers who are able to recognize merit and artistic innovation as well as need.
Grants to Artists is an uncommon and significant program that supports the creative process and assists in the realization of many artistic projects throughout the country and abroad.
Emergency Grants
Emergency Grants provide speedy funding for "emerging" visual and performing artists who have sudden opportunities to present their work to the public or unexpected expenses for projects underway. Grants are awarded monthly to defray the costs of travel, performer's fees, equipment, materials and various other costs associated with mounting exhibitions or productions. Awards generally range in amount from $500 to $2,000 and, although small, have a tremendous impact by enabling artists to seize professional opportunities, present work more fully and, in many instances, leverage additional funding. Without this program, artists often have to cancel their projects or rely on assistance subject to more formal application processes and longer wait periods.
Emergency Grants is the only active, multi-disciplinary program that offers immediate assistance of this kind to artists working anywhere in the country. To respond to the demand for immediate-needs funding - applicants have increased sevenfold since 2005 - FCA has doubled their
Emergency Grants program distributions from $18,000 in 2004 to $36,000 in 2008. Despite this increase, demand continues to outpace program growth; the 2009 budget has increased to $40,000. $16,400 in support has already been committed by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation.
Grants to Organizations
Grants to Organizations assists presenting and artist support organizations throughout the country. Each year, numerous grants ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 are awarded to innovative small- and mid-size organizations. Through this program, FCA is able to help support the infrastructure necessary to ensure the presentation of new work by a broad range of contemporary performing and visual artists. Grantees are selected annually by FCA's Board of Directors. In 2009, with a budget of $50,000, FCA will provide project and general support to approximately fifty arts organizations.
John Cage Award
The biennial
John Cage Award honors the late composer and FCA co-founder with a prestigious $50,000 grant to an individual who has made outstanding achievements in contemporary performing arts. The recipient is selected by FCA's Board of Directors from invited nominations. Past recipients include: Paul Kaiser,
