Equity in Private Foundation Support for Arts and Culture

SALON SESSION

Monday, October 10, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Organized by Grantmakers in the Arts.

Moderated by Bill Cleveland, director, Center for the Study of Art and Community.

Grantmakers in the Arts has served in an advisory capacity to the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy in the development of an essay, Fusing Arts, Culture and Social Change: High Impact Strategies for Philanthropy, researched and written by Holly Sidford, president of Helicon Collaborative. The essay analyzes inequities in current arts grant-making and—in light of evolving demographic, cultural and economic trends—argues for increased focus on the arts’ role in addressing and supporting social change.
