Description
The Terra Foundation Strategic Initiatives program is designed to address emerging needs and opportunities in the field of American art. This initiative supports innovative projects and evolving ideas that deepen relationships, generate collective impact, and help organizations navigate critical moments. The program is adaptive, offering both immediate and sustained, multi-year support for projects that may fall outside the foundation’s regular grantmaking cycles. Strategic Initiatives provide the flexibility needed for testing, refinement, and capacity building, and encourage projects that explore the role of American art and artists in addressing shared global concerns.
