About Moore Impact
Moore Impact Inc. has backed some especially large commitments to arts, culture, and community power, including a $1,005,000 grant to Ashe Cultural Arts for "The Ancestors Say: Sing the Water Songs" and a $982,700 award to Howard University for the Center for Music and Entertainment Business. Those grants sit alongside support for reentry, youth organizing, racial equity, and Black-led institutions, giving the foundation a broad social-justice footprint rather than a single-issue profile. The foundation’s recent record shows both project-specific and flexible support. It has funded major organizational investments such as general operating support for Ashe Cultural Arts Center, core support for Bard Prison Initiative’s reentry work, and program support for groups working on anti-displacement, school-to-confinement pipeline prevention, and Black-led movement building. Its grantmaking also reaches arts workforce development and cultural organizing, with awards tied to education pipelines, convening spaces, and community-based cultural programs. Moore Impact Inc. operates as a public charity and a regular funder, with a national reach and grants that have gone entirely to U.S. recipients in the data provided.
What Moore Impact Funds
Arts and cultural infrastructure appear prominently in the foundation’s portfolio. Moore Impact Inc. gave $1,000,000 to Ashe Cultural Arts Center to support the Claiborne Corridor Cultural Innovation District, Hotel Ash and Cultural Convening Center, Right-to-Stay App, anti-displacement policy, and Community Spread Art. It also awarded $982,700 to Howard University for the Center for Music and Entertainment Business. In reentry and post-incarceration work, the foundation gave $500,000 to A New Way of Life for replication of reentry programs across the U.S. via its Safe Housing Network, and $250,000 to the Anti-Recidivism Coalition for anti-recidivism, workforce development, job placement, and reentry services. Youth leadership and racial justice are another clear thread. The foundation provided $500,000 to Grantmakers for Girls of Color for organizations dismantling the school-to-confinement pipeline for girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth of color, and $360,006 to Funders Collaborative on Youth Organizing for a cohort of Black-led youth organizing groups.
