Black August<\/a>, born out of Black liberation, resistance, and justice movements, is a month dedicated to critical learning and analysis, reflection and study of our roles in oppressive or liberatory systems, and an opportunity to grow, connect, and prepare for the challenging work ahead.<\/p>\n

From the Black Liberation Movement<\/a> and the Black August Hip Hop Project<\/a> to\u201cWriting While Black\u201d<\/a> andhow to fix classical arts<\/a>, we invite you to join us this month in collective reflection where arts and culture are at the root of justice and liberation. As we are reminded by ABFE, A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities<\/a>, \u201cWe must be in it for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWe ask this August that cultural grantmakers look inward and listen outward, to invest in Black artists and communities, commit to listen, learn, and implement anti-racist practices, more widely amplify voices for change, and connect our work with the movement racial equity and justice. This month, GIA will share questions and proposals from our members on how cultural grantmaking can interrupt institutional and structural racism while building a more just funding ecosystem that prioritizes Black communities, organizations, and artists.<\/p>\n
