Details:
The Donors InVesting in the Arts grantmaking program is happening within the context of The Community Foundation’s new 10-year strategic plan grounded in the values of Racial Equity and Inclusion and a vision to close the racial wealth gap in the region’s most underinvested neighborhoods. They believe that changing the prospects for how Black and Brown people in their community generate, sustain, and share wealth will ultimately improve the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and raises a family in this region. They invite applicants to speak boldly and honestly about their efforts to address systems and policies that contribute to disproportionate negative outcomes for BIPOC people and communities. To this end, they are also actively looking for opportunities to support BIPOC-led organizations and the places where they do their work.
