About The Black Seed
What is The Black Seed?
The Black Seed is a first-ever national strategic plan to create impact and thrivability for Black theater institutions, unprecedentedly conceptualized and led by the Black theater field.
The Black Seed is a synergistic solution to a long-standing problem of inequitable structures and systems; we are greater - as a sector than the sum of our parts.
PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS
The Black Seed is profoundly grateful to the Lead Philanthropic Partner of The Black Seed, The Mellon Foundation who is joined by a cohort of funders whose work is committed to social justice and equity in the arts, including The New York Community Trust, Ford Foundation, Doris Duke Foundation, Howard Gilman Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and Pilot House Philanthropy.
BLACK SEED COHORTS
Comprised of six Black-led service institutions: Black Theatre Commons, Black Theatre Network, Black Theatre United, The International Black Theatre Summit, Project1Voice, and We See You White American Theater (WSYWAT).
