Creating Safe Spaces for Healing

with Youth of Color

Support Safe Spaces and Healing Infrastructure for Youth of Color Today

FIGHT FOR OUR FUTURE

Help Sustain the Black Youth Healing Arts Center and Irreducible Grace Foundation

Today, we are seeking brave donors who want to fight back against the brash executive orders aimed at curtailing the grants, funding opportunities, and institutional support fueling effective programming for youth of color. IGF is currently faced with an unprecedented budget shortfall of nearly $500,000 for our 2025 budget year, which extends through December 31, 2025. 

 

Your donation both supports our programming and serves as direct resistance to unjust systemic forces opposing the amazing work being done to lift up our communities. Learn more about the foundation we’ve built and how our programming has thrived in St. Paul, Minnesota

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Irreducible Grace Foundation conducted a self-care workshop at my school, and their work left a lasting impact on students and staff. Every IGF member embodied pose, yet each person brought his/her own energy and knowledge. Breathing exercises, team building activities, and reflective moments gave us what we (students and staff) all needed, self-assurance and compassion for others. Students were heard; they walked away with their own poems and affirmations. I cannot thank IGF enough for their dedication and continuous work for youth and adults."
