Grantmakers for Effective Organizations recently highlighted the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation’s work to empower Indigenous communities through capacity building, highlighting its evaluation process and findings through the Community Inspiration Program.
“In each of the projects, the artists wanted to build community — whatever they define as community. What’s also important is that they are going beyond their specific geographic communities to engage and facilitate the conversations and discussions that need to happen between communities. Each artist has a social issue that’s important to them and they are passionately covering this issue through their work,” says Arquette.
