The Racial Equity Coding Project: The Path Ahead

Recorded June 3, 2022
There are large disparities between the grant funding received by African, Latine, Asian, Arab, and Native American (ALAANA), and White organizations. While funders are increasingly more aware of this gap, a challenge remains to gather accurate data around racial equity funding practices that illustrate a more detailed and accurate accounting of grantmaking efforts to advance racial equity. To address this, Grantmakers in the Arts is participating in the Racial Equity Coding Project, which was kicked off with a culmination of research led by Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF) with Callahan Consulting for the Arts (CCA). The project has given funders an opportunity to examine and refine their own coding practices and to consider new data collection measures for the future.

In this three-part podcast series, learn about the project, and listen to insightful reflections from those involved.

The Path Ahead: In the third and final episode, we are glad to be joined by Eddie Torres, president and CEO of Grantmakers in the Arts. He closes our series with his reflections as the leader of a philanthropy-serving organization, and his hopes for the next steps of the project. He also offers a unique opportunity for you to get involved! Email Eddie at eddie@giarts.org for more information.

GIA members have been working together to promote and improve funding for individual artists for over 20 years. The Support for Individual Artists Committee has been one of the most active groups of funders within GIA.

The Racial Equity Coding Project: Unpacking The “Why”

Recorded March 17, 2022
There are large disparities between the grant funding received by African, Latine, Asian, Arab, and Native American (ALAANA) and White organizations. And, while funders are increasingly more aware of this gap, a challenge remains to gather accurate data around racial equity funding practices that illustrate a more detailed and accurate accounting of grantmaking efforts to advance racial equity. To address this, Grantmakers in the Arts is participating in the Racial Equity Coding Project, which was kicked off with a culmination of research led by Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with Callahan Consulting for the Arts.

The American Rescue Plan Act: All policy is cultural policy

Recorded September 10, 2021
On our May 2021 podcast, we discussed the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act or ARP, and its purpose of helping districts gain equitable access to the arts and strengthen enriching arts education experiences for students. Then in June, AmeriCorps announced how it will use the $1B allocated by the ARP funds, which includes both expanding the number of fellowship opportunities and increasing the amounts of stipends. The pandemic made clear that artists and culture-bearers are vulnerable workers and community-members with a particular perspective on what their communities need. In this podcast we would like to elevate the voices of funders who’ve been leading in this area and those who’ve been pushing for more progressive creative worker policies. We are glad to have Gonzalo Casals, commissioner, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs; Deborah Cullinan, CEO, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA); Randy Engstrom, collaborative arts leader and board member of Grantmakers in the Arts; and Emil Kang, program director for Arts and Culture, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Coronavirus Response: Where are they now?

Recorded June 16, 2021
As GIA reflects over the past year, we cannot help but look back at the work and recommendations that so many funders offered when we launched our coronavirus response programming in 2020. The conversation and insight that was shared with the GIA community ignited and energized funders to begin and continue their support for individual artists and arts organizations. But what has happened since then? We are glad to welcome back Laura Aden Packer, executive director, Howard Gillman Foundation; and James Hafferman, deputy director, CERF+ to the GIA podcast. They will share how things have been going since began our coronavirus response programming in Spring 2020.

Keep the conversation going by tuning in to our webinar Surviving a Pandemic: From emergency response to best practice on July 28, 2021!

A Just Transition for Investing in Arts and Culture

Recorded June 4, 2021
In our recently released report, Solidary Not Charity: Arts & Culture Grantmaking in the Solidarity Economy, we point out the importance of commitment to long-term work with multiyear grants, loans, and equity investments for solidarity economy institutions and networks. To work in true partnership, funders must understand and respect the power of community-owned infrastructure. Furthermore, it is important to recognize the legal and fiscal challenges that informal, emergent, solidarity, and cooperative institutions face. The goal is systems change. But how is this done with a racial equity and justice lens? Hear from Anna Raginskaya, investment advisor, Morgan Stanley, and Quita Sullivan, senior program director for Theater, New England Foundation for the Arts and GIA board member. They discuss how they are supporting investment efforts using the Just Transition framework.

The American Rescue Plan Act: A timely opportunity for arts education

Recorded May 19, 2021
On May 6, 2021, GIA published “Getting Equitable Access to Arts Education: Understanding the American Rescue Plan Act” in which we discussed the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act or ARP, which is a $1.9 trillion package in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Schools re-opening safely has been a broad area of debate and concern, so there is much interest in how this federal funding should be allocated. The Department of Education outlined that, of the more than $122 billion allocated for K-12 schools, at least 90% of funds are required to be used by State Education Agencies (SEAs) to make subgrants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). These funds are intended to help school districts recover from the covid-19 pandemic, sustain safe operations, and support students. They can also help districts move toward equitable access to the arts and strengthen enriching arts education experiences for students following a particularly challenging year plus away from in-classroom learning. We are glad to be joined by Jamie Kasper, director of Arts Education Partnership; Alex Nock, principal at Penn Hill Group; Aileen Ma, director at Penn Hill Group; and Nadia Elokdah, GIA vice president and director of Programs, to discuss the opportunity provided by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021.

Developing a Liberatory Consciousness in Funding

Recorded January 21, 2021
We have turned the corner into 2021, and a new administration gives us high hopes for the future. However, there is still both systemic and internal work to be done if we are going to realize the vision we have for the philanthropic sector. As Dr. Barbara J. Love says, “while we all want to continue to work for social change to reduce inequity and bring about greater justice, we continue to behave in ways that preserve and perpetuate the existing system.” So how should we approach 2021 to ensure we get closer to the reality we want? What sorts of mindset shifts and frameworks will be helpful this year? In this podcast we are glad to have Dr. Barbara J. Love, consultant, author, lecturer, and the founder of the framework Liberatory conscious joining us. She will discuss how to develop a liberatory consciousness mindset that can lead us to even more drastic change both within our institutions and outside of them!

Activating Our Power After the Election

Recorded November 12, 2020
The year 2020 has been an eventful and historic year of institutional reckoning, community organizing, and speaking truth to power. Movements around justice for race, gender, and labor have gained significant traction, and most recently, the 2020 presidential election has achieved the highest voter turn-out in the United States since the early 1900s. It is abundantly clear that civic engagement has become more of an interest to the public than ever before. In this podcast, we have Eddie Torres, president & CEO of Grantmakers in the Arts, and Kristen Cambell, executive director of Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE), speaking about the responsibility of funders to keep this momentum going.

Coronavirus Response: Into the weeds

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic is evident, and we are starting to see shifts as states and countries have entered phase 1 of reopening businesses and public spaces. We are continuing to connect with our peers in the field and share responses and resources from GIA, our members, and our fellow PSOs in order to provide guidance during this time.

As stewards and conveners of information and shared experience, GIA is committed to honoring the work and intellectual property that we produce, and we are mindful of the vulnerability that guests experience when they join us for programs.

Supporting Immigrant Artists and Border Communities

Recorded February 10, 2020
The 2020 Grantmakers in the Arts Racial Equity Podcast Series continues! The United States is a conglomerate of cultures, languages, and races—all contributing something unique to what makes the US a place where people can find community and belonging. However, the journey of migrants can vastly differ from this narrative and depends on the resources and support available to them. How can funders be supportive in welcoming new artists into the US? In this episode, we hear from Adriana Rios, director of programs, National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC), and Luisa Martinez, socially-engaged artist, Artivistas in Residencia, Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA). Rios reminds funders, “When we support immigrant artists, the leg work is to figure out how the artists can navigate the system that is in place. That is a level of solidarity and commitment that we owe to the artist.”

Centering Racial Equity in Arts Funding

Recorded January 3, 2020
GIA is a community of practice with a shared vision of investing in arts and culture as a strategy for social change. Since 2008, GIA has been elevating racial equity as a critical issue affecting the field.

To kick us off, GIA president & CEO Eddie Torres discusses why GIA values and centers racial equity via a stroll through the history of arts funding, a review of ways that GIA is collaborating with others to continue centering racial equity in concrete ways both within the GIA and externally, and how GIA will continue this creative collaboration in order to continue the work across sectors.

The Mosaic Network and Fund: New ways to lift up ALAANA communities

Recorded July 25, 2019
Grantmakers in the Arts is committed to addressing structural inequities and increasing philanthropic and government support for the artists and arts organizations whose founders, leadership, or shared work is African, Latine, Asian, Arab, and/or Native American (also known as ALAANA). In 2017, The New York Community Trust and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation co-commissioned a report from Yancey Consulting to understand the health and viability of ALAANA arts groups in New York City. The result of their analysis and strategizing was the creation of The Mosaic Network and Fund. To date, this Network and Fund has involved around 160 people (representing more than 80 ALAANA arts nonprofits and 22 philanthropic organizations). There are 18 donors to the Fund and its advisory committee is represented by half ALAANA arts organizations, half funders.
