Recipient of Critical Minded Relief Grant for Cultural Critics

It’s important that grant organizations recognize both the importance of critical POC work as well as acknowledge the economic precarity cultural workers often face. Critical Minded, a grantmaking and educational initiative that was founded by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Ford Foundation to support cultural critics of color in the United States, has set up a new Covid-19 relief fund that aims to provide financial assistance to critics during the pandemic. “The time to turn back this wave of hate is now,” reads “United Against Hate: A Statement of Solidarity,” cited by Critical Minded when it announced the new fund. “Together, we can use the power of our collective voices to call for a more just, equal, and inclusive society.”
