Delaware’s Indigenous and Cuban cultural communities are set to benefit from a major national funding initiative aimed at preserving and celebrating folklife traditions in communities of color.
The US Regional Arts Organizations (USRAO) has revealed the recipients of its Walking Together: Investing in Folklife in Communities of Color grant program. In total, $3.34 million will be distributed among 96 selected grantees across the country.
As part of the award structure, 56 organizations will each receive $50,000 grants to support their cultural and folklife programming efforts.
The initiative reflects a broader national commitment to investing in the living cultural traditions maintained by Indigenous, Cuban, and other communities of color throughout the United States, including right here in Delaware.
