Grantees & partnerships
Our grant cycles expand support for filmmakers, artists, cultural leaders, and community organizations advancing justice through creativity and storytelling.
Each of these artists, filmmakers, and community organizations embody the spirit of what Michael stood for—storytelling as a force for justice, creativity as a tool for connection, and community as the foundation for lasting change.
We are honored to share the newest cohort of sixteen grantees supported by the Michael Latt Legacy Fund, in its third year of grant making to the next generation of storytellers and change-makers.
