Meet the 27 Changemakers of the Capacity Continuation Grant

March 20, 2026

Today, we’re happy to introduce 27 grantees of the Capacity Continuation Grant, a one-time, unrestricted funding opportunity made possible by the Wallace Foundation through returned matching funds from the ArtsHERE program. This grant represents a reinvestment in the resilience and creativity of former ArtsHERE grantee organizations within the Creative West region.

More than financial support—the Capacity Continuation grant is also a commitment to trust-based, flexible funding that creates space for reconnection, community-building, and shared storytelling. Each of the 27 grantees will receive unrestricted funds to support their unique organizational needs, whether for capacity building, general operations, programming, or other priorities that strengthen their missions.

What’s Next for Grantees

Grantees will participate in two virtual gatherings designed to reconnect and reflect on shared experiences while exploring opportunities for collaboration and growth. These sessions will focus on grounding, peer exchange, and collective reflection, ensuring that this funding moment is also a time for healing and inspiration.

We are proud to stand alongside these 27 organizations as they continue to make an impact in their communities.
