In response to the continuing financial impacts on the arts and culture community, Leeway Foundation is launching the WOO Community Care Fund in 2021.
Nearly 100 people tuned in for the virtual event that raised over $27,000 in support of local women and girls.
A new mural unveiled days before the 2020 election honors the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted many women the right to vote, and serves as an inspiration for the community to get out and vote.
Leeway's Fall 2020 Art and Change Grants (ACG) support 22 artists leading the exploration of how we adapt art and community-based practices in the time of a global pandemic. Cultural preservation and feminism were highlighted as trending areas of focus.

Funding will address needs exacerbated by COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges faced by working mothers, but it has also provided an opportunity to not only address longstanding inequities but to strive for healing and change of systems that have consistently put women at a disadvantage.
The Leeway Foundation announces $42,500 in support to 17 individual artists and cultural producers focused in community and cultural preservation for Spring 2020.
With the deep and ever-widening economic inequities exposed by the COVID-19 crisis, it's time we come together to invest in strategies and policies that decrease and eventually eliminate the gender and racial wealth gap.
CCFWG will present two innovative programs -- the Virtual Girls in Action Summit on May 18th and Virtual 15th Annual Making a Difference Luncheon on June 5th -- to raise awareness about the pandemic’s impacts on local women and girls.
