Earlier this year, we committed to reevaluating our role within our local and global communities, to use our resources and privilege to support agencies of change. Alongside our internal conversations and reflections, we're dedicating quarterly donations to organizations fighting tirelessly in four arenas; Social Justice, the Environment, the Arts, and the Community. ⠀
⠀
Each quarter we will highlight and donate to organizations working in one of these areas. This quarter we’re focusing on the Arts. We are fortunate enough to be able to donate to three organizations who support and promote artists of varying cultures, backgrounds, and skill level through direct funding, community engagement, exposure, or physical space. This quarter's organizations are Wa Na Wari, Native Arts and Cultures Foundation, and Black Art Futures Fund. Please join us in celebrating local artists within your own communities and learning more about these amazing organizations. ⠀
