Overview

Through our grantmaking and other programs we promote artistic expression that amplifies the voices of those on the margins, promotes sustainable and healthy communities, and works in the service of movements for economic and social justice.

The Community Care Fund (CCF) provides financial assistance of up to $1,250 to Leeway grant and award recipients experiencing immediate and essential emergency needs.

Overview

In April 2020, Leeway established a COVID-19 Relief Fund with the goal of distributing unrestricted grants to Leeway grant and award recipients experiencing financial hardship as a direct result of the pandemic. Since then, the fund has evolved to focus on immediate and essential emergency need funding. As of December 2024, $679,020 had been re-distributed in 453 grants.

Over the last five years, we’ve learned a lot about the importance of emergency funding, particularly for many artists who have been historically marginalized, many of whom Leeway serves (e.g. – people of color; immigrants; queer people; trans and/or gender nonconforming folks; poor and working-class people; people with disabilities; etc.).

Because of this, we’re continuing the Community Care Fund in 2025 with funds awarded to eligible applicants in the order in which applications are received.

Leeway defines “emergency and essential need” as the imminent endangerment of essentials such as housing, utilities, medicine, food, caregiving, and/or other essential needs.
