Description

The foundation believes that art is central to a shared understanding of identity and place and acts as a hub and facilitator for concepts of belonging. We believe art and cultural expression are at the core of community well-being, intersecting with other key areas such as Youth Success and Healthcare.

Through Communities of Belonging, we seek to ensure community arts organizations and artists can elevate their voices, work, and communities. We will specifically support efforts to:

- Improve capacity, which can be internal (ex. staffing, operating site, organizational model) or external (audience reach, performance/exhibition location)
- Build greater sustainability, through increased donations, audiences, and staffing resources
-Partner/collaborate

This initiative will provide two-year General Operating or Project/Program funds ranging from $10K-$100K per year ($20K-$200K total).
