Arts Organizations Receive Grants

North Texas Community Foundation announces that a total of $75,000 in general operating funds was awarded to five organizations through the Arts and Culture Fund. The Arts and Culture Fund was established to support visual and performing arts, botanic gardens and historic preservation. This year’s grants aim to increase access and community participation in the arts in neighborhoods across Fort Worth.

The grant recipients for this cycle are:

• Artes de la Rosa
• Kinfolk House
• SiNaCa Studios
• Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society
• TUBMAN Gallery

“Access to the arts should not be limited by neighborhood boundaries. These grants will help bridge gaps and ensure that residents in every corner of Fort Worth can experience and participate in the transformative power of the arts,” said Whitnee Boyd, Ed.d., director of community impact at North Texas Community Foundation.

The Arts and Culture Fund is made possible by the generous contributions of NTCF fundholders who share a commitment to the arts: the Donny Wiley Memorial Fund, the Bob and Betty Crow Family Fund, and the Lunde Family Charitable Foundation. Funding decisions were made by a dedicated grants committee, which carefully evaluated each application to ensure the most impactful use of the funds.

“Receiving this grant from the Arts and Culture Fund is a tremendous boost for our organization. This grant will enable us to expand our reach and offer more programs where access to the arts has been limited,” said Brenda Sanders-Wise, executive director of the Tarrant County Black Historical & Genealogical Society.
