Constellations Report (2025)
We’re excited to share the Constellations Culture Change Fund & Initiative Impact Report — a three-year journey at The Center for Cultural Power that brought $7.7M in trust-based, practitioner-led funding to more than 150 artist disruptors, culture bearers, and organizations across the country. Rooted in the spirit and wisdom of many communities, thought contributors, creatives, funders, and leaders, Constellations reflects a collective belief in the power of narrative and cultural strategy to shape just and sustainable futures.
Inside the report, you will find:
- Key lessons on how trust-based, flexible funding strengthened narrative and cultural power across six regions, increasing stability, strategy, and impact for artist disruptors, culture bearers, and cultural strategy organizations.
- Stories and insights from grantee partners that illuminate how cultural strategy reshapes worldviews, builds community resilience, and expands the cultural conditions for justice.
- Actionable guidance for funders and practitioners on resourcing narrative and cultural strategy as essential infrastructure in a rapidly shifting social and political landscape.
