These are the FACES OF FRACC ❤️👩
We are highlighting the people behind our organization that believe in the power of arts and culture for Fall River and the SouthCoast.

Meet Julie Ramos-Gagliardi (she/her)
Julie is the Chief Community Investment Officer at the SouthCoast Community Foundation, where she works closely with nonprofits, community leaders, and residents to strengthen communities across the region. She also serves as a member of the FRACC Executive Committee.

"I’m the daughter of an artist and was fortunate to grow up surrounded by the arts and traditions that celebrate my Portuguese heritage. Those experiences have shaped my belief that arts and culture are essential to strong communities: they connect us to our history, help us share our stories, and create a sense of belonging across generations. In Fall River, with its rich cultural heritage and diversity, investing in arts and culture is an investment in the city’s identity, vitality, and future."

At FRACC, we make arts and culture a foundational part of how we build, uplift, and move Fall River and the SouthCoast forward.

We can’t do this work alone. If you believe in the power of arts and culture to help strengthen our community, help support FRACC's mission by donating through our MightyCause page [mightycause.com/organization/FRACC] 💞
