Social organizations focused on the arts are facing incredible peril and many grantmakers are stepping up to address its sweeping impacts.

As of today, there are over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/cat\/2\/arts-and-culture-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1,600 grants<\/a> listed in that category with more being added each day. This is welcomed news for those artists hardest hit by the global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that strong art and cultural sector actively contributes to the economic vitality and is central to a strong quality of life of any community.
