California Community Foundation seeking Applications for La Arts Recovery Fund (US)
Deadline: 02-Mar-21
The California Community Foundation is seeking applications for its La Arts Recovery Fund to support small and medium-sized organizations in the arts impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The LA Arts Fund will focus on arts nonprofits that contribute to the vitality of LA County, from long-standing organizations that have been part of the region’s cultural fabric for decades, to organizations that have presented daring and innovative work, to those that have served as artistic anchors for diverse communities.
The Fund includes a challenge grant from the Ford Foundation’s “America’s Cultural Treasures” regional initiative designed to support Black, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous arts organizations in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and to acknowledge and honor the diversity of artistic expression in America. Local funders will match the Ford Foundation contribution and provide critical funding to organizations with exceptional regional or local significance that have been historically underrepresented and underfunded in the narrative of America’s culture.
