WHAT DOES THIS PROGRAM SUPPORT?

We fund D.R.E.A.M.S.

Every student in a public elementary school should be provided with opportunities that make school life exciting, interesting and most importantly, FUN!

Since launching in 2005, the S'Cool Life Fund has provided grants for over 1,100 D.R.E.A.M.S. (Drama, Recreation, Extra-Curricular, Arts, Music, or Sports) projects across the country worth over $2.9 MILLION helping to make school life more enjoyable for thousands of public elementary school kids (JK-8).

What We Fund

CUE is a radical arts initiative dedicated to supporting new generation artists who live and work on the margins.

Throughout history, some of the most innovative artwork has been created by artists who experience marginalization, face systemic barriers, and who have been excluded by conventional arts and cultural institutions. We recognize that arts funding agencies and institutions have struggled to keep up with growing social, cultural, and economic inequality, and with changing demographics.
