Cultural Sustainability: A Creative West Grants and Peer Cohort Program for Arts Organizations of Color. Launched with support from The Wallace Foundation and in partnership with the five other U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (USRAOs), Cultural Sustainability targets organizations with annual operating budgets below $500,000 that boast a minimum of three years of programming history.
Cultural Sustainability offers general operating grants to arts and culture organizations led by and serving communities of color with budgets under $500,000. Selected organizations will also participate in regional learning communities over the program’s two years.
Creative West sought to learn how organizations of color create healthy, joyful, and thriving environments for themselves and their communities, and to help them continue this important work.”
