| - The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) (Arabic: الصندوق العربي للثقافة والفنون) is an independent, non-profit NGO that funds individuals and cultural organizations in the Arab region. By awarding grants for partial funding of cultural projects and other forms of support, AFAC facilitates projects in the fields of cinema, performing arts, literature, music and visual arts, and encourages cultural exchange, research and cooperation across the Arab region and globally. Based on ongoing financial and institutional support mainly from businesspeople and organizations in the Arab region, AFAC also aims at strengthening philanthropy for the arts, and works with the private sector to promote entrepreneurship in cultural and artistic productions. The fund's activities are overseen by a Board of Trustees, headed by academic Ghassan Salamé and run by a management team with former journalist Rima Mismar as Executive Director. The impact of AFAC’s activities includes the screening of their grantee's films at international film festivals, translations of foreign contemporary literature into Arabic, distributed for free on the Internet, archives that collect, document and preserve images of daily life, workshops teaching children to create stories through puppetry and animation and sharing contemporary narratives from the Arab region with global audiences.
