In solidarity with the groundswell of efforts toward decolonization, we feel compelled to spend down our foundation\u2019s assets.<\/p>\n<p>SAF was started with funds inherited from Tony\u2019s grandfather, who in the early 1900s bought land and oil rights in Central California, profiting from the state\u2019s 19th century genocide of its Indigenous people and dispossession of their land. This land in present-day Kern County, the ancestral home of the Yokuts, Chumash, and other Indigenous people, shares its history with nearly all of California\u2019s land: it was stolen from its original inhabitants, who were forcibly removed through murder and enslavement.<\/p>\n<p>We no longer feel entitled to use this money.<\/p>\n<p>We remain deeply connected to and supportive of the creative parent community we have served for the last thirteen years. However, our need to address the source of our funding has brought us to a new resolve.<\/p>\n<p>We are returning the foundation\u2019s remaining funds to the communities from which they were taken. We will announce these unrestricted grants\u2014to local tribes, California Native programs, and Native-led national organizations\u2014as they are finalized.<\/p>\n<p>We see this as an expansion of our mission and a shift in how we work for it.<\/p>\n<p>The spirit of sustainability in the name of our foundation calls for approaches that downplay commodification and competition and instead lift up all creative practices. We intend to build community and work for structural reforms which will have a greater impact than our grantmaking ever could. We are developing partnerships with others working for a more equitable, anti-racist future. Ultimately, we hope that capitalism\u2014and the compensatory philanthropy it relies on\u2014is replaced by a more just distribution of wealth.<\/p>\n<p>This work may outlive us, but as parents we have developed great patience, and a deep commitment to the generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline and Tony Grant<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainableartsfoundation.org\/\">Read the full announcement here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/.mccoppin --><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted by Jaime Sharp on December 4, 2023 From Sustainable Arts Foundation:\u00a0 Our reading and dialogue with colleagues have sharpened our focus on the unjust distribution of wealth in this country.
