The Performing Arts Program fulfills its strategies by working with roughly 160 grantee organizations that support meaningful artistic experiences for a wide range of communities, artists, and youth throughout the Bay Area. The program supports a breadth of types of organizations, including arts organizations and community-based organizations whose work integrates arts and culture as part of a related social mission. Many have budgets of less than $500,000 and are rooted in and led by specific, self-defined communities, such as racial, ethnic, geographic, sexual orientation, gender, economic and/or other identity groups. Often, grantees’ work centers multiple and intersectional formations of community and embraces constantly evolving community needs and aspirations.
