The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) is the recipient of a $3 million gift from philanthropists MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett as one of 286 high-impact organizations in categories and communities that have been historically underfunded and overlooked. Scott states, "Arts and cultural institutions can strengthen communities by transforming spaces, fostering empathy, reflecting community identity, advancing economic mobility, improving academic outcomes, lowering crime rates, and improving mental health, so we evaluated smaller arts organizations creating these benefits with artists and audiences from culturally rich regions and identity groups that donors often overlook."
