"Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasures” is a multi-year initiative supporting the recovery of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) cultural groups, artists, and organizations; acknowledging and honoring the artistic expression and excellence that are critical to the region’s cultural diversity.
The initiative includes three funding opportunities:
- Multi-year operating grants to nonprofit arts and culture organizations that will be recognized as “Philadelphia Cultural Treasures”
- Fellowship grants to BIPOC artists
- Project grants to emergent or non 501c3 organizations or collectives of critical value in their communities
A regional program of the Ford Foundation’s “America’s Cultural Treasures” initiative, “Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasures” is a collaborative fund made possible through the effort of five regional funders: The Barra Foundation, Neubauer Family Foundation, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, William Penn Foundation, and Wyncote Foundation.
