FROM THE FOLKS AT Dance/NYC:  The 25 recipients of the second iteration of the Dance Advancement Fund, made possible by the generous support of the Ford Foundation, to address the inequitable distribution of resources in the dance field and advance resilience by supporting dance makers with annual budgets between $25,000 and $1 million.

The Fund leverages Dance/NYC’s capacity as a regrantor and responds directly to the organization’s field research Dance/NYC’s State of NYC Dance and Workforce  Demographics
 
(Dance.NYC/StateofDance2016), which shows that dance makers with annual budgets of less than $1 million comprise the lion’s share (84%) of total groups but have access to only 10% of the total revenue. The research also found that organizations in this budget sector demonstrate the greatest capacity to adapt and have workforces that better reflect the racial diversity and presence of disabled and immigrant people in New York City’s population than the workforces of larger organizations.

The recipients of the Dance Advancement Fund, which will each receive two-year general support awards of $5,000-$15,000 annually, from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021, are:
