Black Arts Future Fund

Black Art Futures Fund (BAFF) provides general operating support for small Black-led arts & culture nonprofits or fiscally sponsored projects with an operating budget of $500K or less. ⁠Black Art Futures Fund recipients receive more than just a grant, but support from the entire Red Olive universe through Olive’s Classroom, access to direct client services, and financial support from individual donors and small business donors who support the grant pool.

Nurture Neighborhoods

The South continues to be underrecognized as a site of transformation for many facets of American history, art, and culture. We aim to shift the dependence on creative spaces rooted in established cultural centers by supporting artists and cultural workers in a suburban or rural Southern community. The Stay at Nearview and the Nebula Fund seek to position these places as potential and fertile ground for expanding cultural and creative canons.
