The Bed-Stuy Create & Connect micro grant provides funding for artists and neighbors whose proposals aim to enrich community life in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
What is the Create & Connect fund?
The Bed-Stuy Create & Connect Fund is a hyperlocal micro-grant program offered annually and directly managed by The LP. The Fund seeds and supports the creative ideas or civic actions of artists, cultural practitioners, community organizers, activists, and neighbors whose proposals aim to enrich community life in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The Laundromat Project advances artists and neighbors as change agents in their own communities.
Since our beginning, The LP has centered the voices, cultures, imaginations, knowledge, and leadership of people of color (POC). We do this to push against complex systemic injustices in pursuit of a world in which all people—across race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability status, and migration status—are free to be their whole selves.
