For philanthropy to break with its own history of creating scarcity and competition amongst artists, and siloing cultural work in its conception of organizing infrastructure, funders must move beyond isolated grantmaking toward coordinated strategies that strengthen community power. NFG’s Member Calls are an opportunity to seed change in philanthropy by connecting funders with organizers and with each other to build shared understanding and collective strategies for racial, gender, economic, disability, and climate justice.
During this call, we will unpack the history of how BIPOC and low-income communities, especially those in the South, have been working to advance a holistic approach to systems change that incorporates arts and cultural organizing as core elements, helping people to better understand the world around them and build community power.
Join NFG’s June Member Call: Arts & Cultural Organizing if you would like to:
-
Strategize on how philanthropy can actively promote narratives that illustrate the link between cultural organizing and power building;
-
Cultivate shared commitments that NFG’s network can advance in support of movements that center arts and culture in their working toward racial, gender, economic, disability, and climate justice;
-
Surface the initiatives and intermediaries that funders can immediately drive resources to.
