Current Kinfolk Partners

The Creative Disruptors Kinfolk Partnership Program aims to cultivate deep, collaborative relationships with organizations who share our commitment to supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) leaders in the arts and culture sector. Through strategic partnerships, we seek to advance social justice, promote cultural equity, and foster community empowerment through transformative educational experiences.

Members of the Creative Disruptors Kinfolk Partnership Program are only open to BIPOC-focused organizations.
