The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $300,000 to The Soze Agency via The Soze Foundation to support its Right of Return fellowship program for formerly incarcerated artists. This is a renewal and expansion of Open Philanthropy's December 2016 grant, which The Soze Agency used to support seven artists. Co-founders and previous fellows Jesse Krimes and Russell Craig will continue to provide mentorship and leadership for the new class.
This grant and falls within Open Philanthropy's focus area of criminal justice reform.
