Racial Equity in Arts Funding Workshop

Grantmakers in the Arts has partnered with Race Forward and True North EDI to develop the Racial Equity in Arts Funding Workshop, which we premiered at the 2017 GIA Annual Conference. GIA has been hosting the workshop for grantmakers since 2017 to overwhelmingly positive feedback. GIA continues to offer racial equity workshops to support funders with nuts-and-bolts guidance on how to better serve African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, Native American (ALAANA) communities through their grantmaking. This workshop will include information on the history of racialization in the United States, the history of cultural funding, and real-world examples of racial equity funding, strategies, and resources you may bring with you back to your organizations.

We have adapted our workshops from the in-person format to offer them safely to you online. The new four-part structure will create more opportunities for reflection and dialogue without sacrificing the rich content we have prepared.

The workshop will be 12 hours and divided into 4 three-hour modules.
