The City of Reno Arts & Culture Commission (RACC) acknowledges country’s colonial establishment and its violent impact upon non-dominant communities within the state and the region. RACC values its ongoing commitment to cultural awareness, social responsibility, and measurable actions to support and benefit those who have been historically marginalized, muted, and underserved. The Equity Expansion Grant is RACC’s next conscious step in aligning public service to provide arts well-being thoughtfully and intentionally throughout the Reno community.
The Equity Expansion Grant is intended to provide programmatic funding to eligible organizations that provide arts, culture, and heritage services. The grant prioritizes organizations historically facing social, financial, and/or geographic barriers.
