The Foundation Trust is a 501(c)3 nonprofit private operating foundation offering grants, educational outreach, resource development and other support to small to medium sized nonprofit organizations and municipal programs in the Greater Boston area. The Foundation Trust (www.FoundationTrust.org) works to uplift marginalized and oppressed individuals and communities through a unique combination of philanthropy, grantmaking, strategic partnerships with small to medium-sized nonprofits in Greater Boston, educational resource development, outreach, and training in the following program areas:

1. Advancing Inclusivity in the Arts

The Foundation Trust also sponsors and maintains www.ComplexTrauma.org, a comprehensive repository of information and resources to support anyone who has been affected by complex psychological trauma, directly or indirectly. The Foundation Trust is guided by our steadfast commitment to uplift vulnerable individuals and underrepresented communities. We are honored to support local efforts to end discrimination and victimization of children, immigrants, persons with disabilities, and Black, Brown, Asian, indigenous, and LGBTQ+ communities. As an operating foundation, we are privileged to have the opportunity to devote our expertise to the creation and dissemination of educational resources that advance inclusivity, overcome adversity and transform trauma worldwide.

We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the Foundation Trust Emerging Artist Initiative at Urbanity Dance. This initiative is part of the Foundation’s Priority Track 4, which aims to promote opportunities for underrepresented individuals in the arts. Under the guidance of Betsi Graves, Director and Founder of Urbanity Dance, the initiative included development of an eight-month long mentorship program for two Emerging Artists: an adult dancer and choreographer to serve as Mentor, and a teen artist Mentee.

This year’s Adult Emerging Artist Fellowship recipient is Miranda Lawson, a Boston-based dancer, choreographer, and educator originally from Somerville, Massachusetts. Miranda specializes in contemporary and Hip-hop dance forms and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Dance and Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, where she was recognized with awards in choreographic excellence and leadership through social justice work.

This year’s Teen Artist Fellowship recipient is Foster Woodberry, a q***r contemporary and hip-hop dancer based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are currently in 11th grade at Concord Academy and are interested in blending techniques and creating original work.

Miranda and Foster have already begun rehearsals and mentoring sessions in the Urbanity Dance studio. Their creative efforts will culminate in a community performance in late summer, so stay tuned!
