Sustain Black Spaces.
Why Your Support Matters
BlackSpace is turning 10! And as Black spaces rapidly close and are under attack in our neighborhoods, we're doubling down in our mission to ensure Black people, spaces and culture matter and thrive — by investing in culture-first* community development through our new Studio KIN program.
But, we need help supporting culture-first founders and projects! 🎁 Make a monthly gift in intervals of 10 for our 10th anniversary! 🎁
---
$10+ / month keeps culture alive: Studio KIN projects preserve and revive venues, rituals, art, and stories at risk of being lost.
$50+ / month expands access: We create public programs and design tools rooted in local culture across NYC, Indianapolis, Oklahoma, and beyond.
$100+ / month grows leadership: Founders and local leaders gain funding, mentorship, and visibility to build sustainable projects.
A one-time gift of $1,000+ shifts power: BlackSpace strengthens networks, funding, and technical support so residents shape their own neighborhoods.
At the $1,000 level, we'll list you as a Studio KIN Sustaining Donor at our February Pitch Night + 10th Anniversary Party in New York City.

*Culture-first projects begin with the histories, values, and creative expressions of the people there today.
