Formed by Civis to respond to unique moments of need, the Creative Stewardship Fund works to support the pillars of local arts and culture. Arts institutions are vital gathering spaces in their cities and neighborhoods, and often safe places for marginalized communities. CSF provides funding to organizations that have achieved longevity in their mission and work, have been platforms for new ideas and forms of expression, and have fostered meaningful conversation and cross-pollination.
