Inclusive Economies
The Inclusive Economies Program fosters the creation of an inclusive and equitable economy in which people of color can maximize their potential as leaders, creators, and innovators across sectors.
Radical Imagination for Racial Justice
The Thriving Cultures Program is guided by Radical Imagination for Racial Justice, our future-oriented, world-building strategy, which is organized across three interconnected grantmaking approaches:
- Create invests (through regranting organizations) in artists of color who work with communities of color to imagine and build racially just systems and structures at a local scale.
- Clarify invests in researchers and cultural critics of color to interpret and disseminate knowledge about the work of artists and to build a more equitable research and criticism infrastructure.
- Connect advances the role of artists and communities of color in shaping public policy, narrative change, and philanthropic practices that advance racial justice.
What We Do Not Fund
Our grantmaking does not support:
- Individuals (However, we do fund organizations that make grants to individual artists.)
- Capital campaigns or building construction
- Projects that are based or focused outside of the United States, tribal lands, or U.S. territories
- Purchase of equipment
- Awards, scholarships, or endowment funds
Grants are made by invitation only. We are not accepting unsolicited inquiries or letters of intent at this time.
