New Fund: A Road Together
From the Field Foundation: In partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, the Field Foundation has launched a new grantmaking program. This program—which we’re calling A Road Together (ART)—is designed specifically for small and mid-sized arts and culture organizations with annual operating budgets up to $1 million and with a strong commitment to equity that are reflective and inclusive of Chicago’s diverse and historically underserved communities. Through this initiative, there will be opportunities to apply for multi-year general operating grants using a participatory grantmaking process, as well as single-year general operating grants outside of the participatory process.
On April 12 & 13, 2023, we held two informational webinars, where Field and MacArthur representatives described our aspiration, working together with future ART grantees, to make a sustainable impact in advancing racial equity by enabling more Chicagoans to dream and flourish while accessing platforms for art and cultural expression.
