2024 Grant priorities

The Arts is an important element that contributes to a community’s quality of life. We believe the Arts enables people to connect, express, and improve both as an individual and community. 

We believe mental health issues need to be addressed with an intersectional and open-minded lens. Individuals and families are diverse. Not everyone shares the same values, beliefs, or privileges. Many of the traditional approaches towards mental health overlook factors including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, income, age, and language. 

 We are committed to improving the lives of our community’s youth. The solution may be a new approach, professional development, or improved access to existing programs.
