About the Fund
At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, an angel donor came to us with a desire to host a fund that would support artists + activists in need. Astounded and activated by this generosity, we created a structure and process in which to disseminate the angel donor’s gift. And with that, the Artist + Activist Community Fund was established.
