Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA) is a national community of practice of arts grantmakers. GIA holds racial equity as a core value. GIA identifies philanthropic practices that may be ineffective or even harmful to artists and arts organizations from African, Latine, Asian, Arab, and Native American (ALAANA) communities/communities of color. GIA engages in critical analysis of and education about these practices with our members. GIA challenges myths that have informed these practices. GIA shares alternative practices from and with our members.
