Supporting your Equitable Practice

Cohorts

Cohorts of awardees from each year will focus on equitable development practices. Cohort goals are to implement, measure, and evaluate equitable development practices throughout the project in a peer learning setting. Facilitated by 4Culture, cohorts will meet regularly for a duration of 3-years and participate in an annual Community of Practice, a convening of King County equitable development practitioners and advocates.

Cultural Space Partnerships

Cultural Space Partnerships are models of equitable development aimed to form new collaborations that center resource-sharing and support for organizations that have historically faced barriers to property ownership in King County. Awardees will participate in a Cultural Space Partnership for a duration of 3-years and will convene in an annual Community of Practice to further relationships of mutual aid.

Anchoring Community is a means for 4Culture to be more collaborative with grantees. Through a 3-year commitment, 4Culture will support organizations in incorporating equitable efforts throughout the life of their facility projects. We invite project teams to join us in the field where we can learn, share, and address community needs through the built environment. - Brian J. Carter, 4Culture Executive Director
