Founded in 1973, ACF provides resources, networking opportunities, and funding to help composers develop their craft and share their music with wider audiences. ACF also fosters collaboration among composers, performers, and organizations, encouraging innovative projects and community engagement. Through initiatives like the Composer Assistance Program and various grants, ACF aims to enhance the visibility of contemporary music and support the diverse voices within the American music landscape.
