Session 4 of GIA's 2021 Webinar Series.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, arts and culture funding statistics showed that only 4% of foundation funding went to organizations of color, and only 2% of all cultural institutions received almost 60% of all cultural funding. Not only did the pandemic make matters worse for everyone, but already struggling organizations faced the threat of discontinuing programs, and some organizations closed their doors for good. Over a year after the pandemic took a harsh toll on our communities, we have seen funders exercise trust and solidarity in their emergency responses by making monumental shifts in their practices. This is a great opportunity to explore and transform emergency practice into best practice as we reimagine the possibilities of supporting communities.
We are glad to have Eddie Torres, president & CEO, Grantmakers in the Arts; Dr. Mary T. Basset, FXB Professor of the Practice of Health and Human Rights, Harvard School of Public Health; Gary Steuer, president & CEO, Bonfils-Stanton Foundation; and eTmpestt Hazel, Art program officer, The Field Foundation; speaking to the ways they are reimagining funding for their grantees.
