2023 Update:
THANK YOU DONORS!
We hit our launch year goal of raising $15,000, all through individual donations! Because of the generosity of our amazing community, we were able to spend $10,000 to buy additional festival tickets (we awarded 61 BIPOC festival tickets total, including those donated directly from the festivals), and to support 15 accompanying travel stipends. We also had a group of paid BIPOC consultants who determined our criteria for the festival awards.
We received one grant for $600 which is going to a grants consultant to help us write more and better grants for future programming (BIPOC festival, performance).
Our remaining budget is being rolled over to 2024 programming, and some internal operational (new website, video editing program) and marketing (stickers, t-shirts?, promotional advertising) costs.
Our 2024 fundraising will focus on a 2nd round of festival partnerships, more robust travel stipends, local programming, teacher trainings, and possibly some festivals outside of North America! If we receive some grant funding, we will work towards a BIPOC acro festival and performance showcase!
Financial tenets:
At least 75% of annual budget will go directly to BIPOC recipients
Additional funds will go towards project support staff and BIPOC festival planning (mix of BIPOC and white allies)
A BIPOC led advisory board will make all award recipient decisions
