About the organization
Communities of Opportunity is a Seattle-based initiative founded in 2015 as a collaborative effort among philanthropic, public, and community partners. It operates as a funding and capacity-building platform rather than a traditional arts organization, with a mission to advance racial equity and economic inclusion in the Puget Sound region. Its ethos is rooted in trust-based philanthropy, long-term relationship building, and community-led decision-making, aiming to shift power and resources to historically marginalized communities.

Artists and cultural organizations should first review the initiative's focus areas and eligibility criteria on its website. Engagement typically begins through participation in community forums or partnership inquiries rather than open calls. Building authentic relationships with community partners and demonstrating a commitment to equity and inclusion are essential. Proposals should articulate how the work advances racial and economic justice and aligns with the initiative's long-term goals.
