ABOUT THE DREAM KEEPER INITIATIVE (DKI) 

ARTS AND CULTURE GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE BLACK COMMUNITY

DKI Grants pAGE [2]

The Dream Keeper Initiative is a new, citywide effort to reinvest $60 million annually from law enforcement into San Francisco's Black and African-American communities. This initiative is part of Mayor London N. Breed's roadmap for reforming public safety and addressing structural inequities in San Francisco.

Since 2021, the Arts Commission has invested $5.3 million in arts and culture organizations to anchor support for the cultural assets and economic vitality in historically Black and African-American communities facing rapid change and we seek to invest an additional $3.1 million in fiscal year 2023-2024.
