Founders and donors in this circle help us curate and elevate authentic Black voices—voices that embody resilience, brilliance, and the enduring courage of our stories. Their support fuels the development of spaces, programs, and productions that preserve heritage, inspire new generations, and strengthen the cultural and economic fabric of our communities.

To join the Founder’s Bench is to stand with us as we build institutions, empower artists, and ensure that the richness of Black artistic expression continues to thrive.
