Overview

We’re interested in art that educates the public on topical issues. For example, projects that seek to enrich and inform the public on important subjects such as our worsening climate catastrophe, health care, social justice, civil rights, and other contemporary issues facing the country (and the planet) that some organizations might hesitate to fund. The Foundation also gives special consideration to communities that are under-served by the arts. While The Foundation loves to hear from new and emerging artists, established artists are not less likely to be considered if they can demonstrate fiscal need. We prioritize projects that take place in the US.
