Ideas are only as good as the audiences they reach. We partner with artists, culture-bearers, designers, and media makers of color to create narratives with organizers, movement leaders and advocates. We also transfer ideas into the realm of public policy by partnering with officials within municipal and state agencies.

What We Fund: We fund conveners that bring together artists, researchers, and cultural critics of color together with public policy and social movement leaders to advance shared racial justice outcomes.
