The Equity | Impact Center programs and services are designed and implemented under two strategic priorities:
- Equity-Centered: data-informed programs and services designed to directly address the systemic inequities in our community.
- Impact-Driven: programs and services designed to support and sustain existing efforts that address systemic inequities in our community.
THE TRANSFORMATIVE LEADER AWARD PROGRAM
The Transformative Leader Program (TLP) is an 8-month leadership development program for social impact, social justice, and nonprofit leaders. TLP provides the opportunity for change-driven leaders to learn and build skills to navigate systems change, improve operations and efficiency, and build relationships with like-minded peers. Leaders from all sectors are invited to apply, including but not limited to nonprofit organizations, philanthropic organizations, social impact businesses, community groups, corporations, academic institutions, and government and political leaders.

THE SCALE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The SCALE Fellowship was designed to advance Black women in music. As the first of its kind fellowship for Black women in music, SCALE provides the knowledge and resources to craft effective business strategies while providing a dedicated space for the creation, production, and presentation of their work. The program equips artists with the resources and support necessary to build sustainable careers and overcome challenges unique to Black artists. Learn more.
THE CREATIVE IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM
Our Creative in Residence program is designed at the intersections of art, social justice, and entrepreneurship. Each year, the Equity | Impact Center offers a unique opportunity for an artist whose work addresses systemic inequity through their creative practice. The CIR receives support, from developing ideas into sustainable solutions to acquiring investment, documentation, and evaluation of their work. Learn more.
