The most recent grants, ranging from $150,000 to support pandemic recovery to smaller project-specific awards, demonstrate the organization's ability to adapt and continue its mission of promoting Black dance and arts participation. The grants fall under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024), which aims to create opportunities for arts participation, community resilience, and sector infrastructure development.
