  • Equity-Focused Regranting
    methodology: equity-focused_regranting
    By directing regranting support and technical assistance to underserved populations—including rural communities, small organizations, individual artists, and economically challenged areas—we expand access to the arts because targeted resourcing reduces systemic barriers and increases inclusion in cultural participation.
