Grantmakers in the Arts’ board of directors developed a statement of purpose for their work in racial equity in arts funding with a goal to increase arts funding for ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American) artists, arts organizations, children, and adults. Originally published in 2015 (revised in 2019), this statement continues to be updated as GIA builds its knowledge of practical applications to assist institutional funders in achieving this goal.
