Warner Music Group and the Blavatnik Family Foundation have announced the recipients of a second round of racial and social justice grants.

The grants were awarded through the WMG/BFF Social Justice Fund, which was established last summer to assist organizations working to build more equitable communities and create sustainable change for historically underserved and marginalized populations. Grant recipients include Overtown Youth Center, which will use the funding to scale its efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and bridge educational, social, emotional, health, economic, and opportunity gaps for young people in Miami's Overtown neighborhood; the New York City-based Africa Center, which will work to develop a multidisciplinary, multiyear exhibition that explores the myriad contributions African immigrants have made to arts and culture, science, technology, and politics; and the Ashé Cultural Arts Center in New Orleans, in support of its efforts to develop arts and culture programming that advances human, community, and economic development.

"Over the past year, we've been developing a targeted grantmaking strategy focused on three key pillars — education, criminal justice reform, and arts and culture — in order to optimize our impact and reach," said Paul Henderson, executive director of the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability and a board member of the WMG/BFF Social Justice Fund. "This next set of grants is all about the intersection of community, culture, and commerce, and we're very proud to support organizations at the forefront of addressing racial disparities with robust programming tied to the arts and education."
