Direct Assistance for Cultural Community
Direct Assistance In 2023 we began our partnership with the New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund serving as the fiscal agent for the majority of their giving to individual members of the cultural community. This work also included setting up distributions contacting all recipients answering questions and in some instances assisting individuals in the application process. Over the course of the year we worked directly with almost 250 community members. We also directed musicians artists and culture bearers to other forms of assistance including connecting them with agencies that help with housing instability healthcare and financial management. In addition we worked with small cultural businesses and music venues including the Dew Drop Inn one of New Orleans most historic music venues that reopened after being shuttered for several decades.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$74.8KCultural Policy Advocacy Initiatives
