Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) is a nonprofit organization working in the US and South Africa to combat HIV/AIDS, assist children orphaned by AIDS, advance human rights and equality, safeguard voting rights, and educate and empower at-risk youth.
About Me:
 
ANSA makes a substantial difference by: developing innovative, collaborative programs; providing grants and resources to effective community organizations: and raising public awareness and mobilizing action through media campaigns, advocacy, and the arts. ANSA works in collaboration with experts, activists, and grassroots leaders, harnessing the talents, resources, and influence of all its diverse members to have strategic impact.

Founded in 1989 by noted members of the entertainment community to support the struggle against apartheid, ANSA has since raised over $9 million for African nonprofits, shipped 70 tons of medical supplies and books to poor communities, and educated millions of people in the US and Africa about HIV/AIDS and voting rights.

ANSA's founders, board members, advisors, and core supporters include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Alfre Woodard, Carlos Santana & Deborah Santana, Samuel L. Jackson & LaTanya Richardson, Gillian Anderson, Danny Glover, Jackson Browne, Blair Underwood, George Lopez, CCH Pounder, Alexandra Paul, Morgan Freeman, Jurnee Smollett, Mary Steenburgen, Cicely Tyson, Jonathan Butler, Johnny Clegg, Roma Mafia, Gloria Reuben, Jasmine Guy, Noah Gray-Cabey, Angela Bassett, Robert Guillaume, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, Anthony Anderson, Dave Winfield, and many more.
