We’re excited to announce our recent DurhamAF grantee, and the Durham Artist Archive! Alyssas mission to share the stories of Durham artists and her track record in supporting the arts made her project an easy one to back. Congrats Alyssa and we’re excited to see what you pull off next!

Congrats to our recent grant winner, Anna “Myīñk Wahīye:” Jeffries! Anna’s proposal to bring her project to life here in Durham as well as expand its reach to larger exhibitions made the application an easy one for the team to support.

What rhymes with Burban Bolklore and puts on killer poetry slams right here in DURHAM? That’s none other than ‘s own Urban Folklore! Their push to celebrate artist stories made Urban Folklore’s application an easy pick for Durham AF’s monthly $1000 grant. Congrats y’all!

PS: Have an idea to make Durham more awesome that could put $1000 to good use? Come through!

Give it UP for the latest $1000 grantee, lead by the indelible Jasmine Mack. We loved how this project had a clear goal of what they wanted to do with DurhamAF’s grant and had an inspiring plan of where they wanted to take things into the future. Congrats y’all!

Heyo heyo! We’re super excited to announce our recent DurhamAF winner, Dress to Impress from ! Their mission to help students understand the importance of presenting themselves professionally was one that was hard to argue with and it didn’t hurt that they had an idea of how they were going to use the $1000 DurhamAF award to work towards it. Congrats!

Have an idea that could help make Durham more awesome? We want to hear about it!

Give us a hamd in celebrating our recent grantee, Durham’s own Running Club! We loved the organization’s track record in doing great work here in Durham and it was an easy project to support given that we knew the $1000 reward would go right back into the community here in the bull city.

Got an idea that could use $1000 to help it come to life? We want to hear about it!

Heyo heyo heyo! We’re excited to give credit to our recent winner of the DurhamAF award, ! People at our live event were moved by the energy and impact they’re team is bringing to the important work of securing homes for those in need of foster care 🙏🏽.

Got an idea to make Durham more awesome? We’d love to see if we can’t help make it happen!
