Impact

From late 2020 through today, we redistributed $4 million in unrestricted gifts to 178 artists, culture bearers, and organizations working creatively in their communities. 

We are proud of the way we distribute gifts. We support an array of artists and culture bearers, and our experience helps us see where we need to make even more effort in future rounds to reach historically underfunded communities.

$4 Million Distributions throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the 23 Native Nations. 

 
 

This transformative experiment invented a people-powered process to move money to usually unfunded artists and culture bearers.
