The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a $225,000 Congressional Grants program (CFDA 59.059) grant to Keshet Dance Co, a non-profit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The one-year project grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will support Keshet Dance Co's use of dance and movement as tools for social change, community development, and individual empowerment. The funding will enable Keshet Dance Co to execute comprehensive community-focused initiatives, including arts-based interventions for youth in detention facilities, business counseling and technical assistance for the local creative economy, and performance experiences that address complex social challenges. This grant builds on Keshet Dance Co's history of securing federal funding from agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to leverage artistic practices for social impact.
