New project, new funding: organizational news from Hola Cultura

It has been a busy summer at Hola Cultura! Besides advancing new stories and a fourth season of our acclaimed podcast “The Climate Divide” that begins on Wednesday,  we’ve been making improvements to our online magazine and are honored to welcome new supporters, partners and collaborators.

Funding updates

The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation has renewed our general operating support grant, and we are also honored to have new general operating support from the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment too.

Meanwhile, HumanitiesDC is supporting our new artists’ dialogue project, Future Forebears, led by D.C. independent curator Fabiola R. Delgado. We are excited to begin this project this summer and look forward to sharing the dialogues in a community event next year. If you are an artist and would like us to consider featuring you and your work as part of Future Forebears, please email us at contact@holacultura.com. 

On the investigative journalism front, Hola Cultura won new funding this year from SpotlightDC, the District’s own Capital City Fund For Investigative Journalism, which has supported our work ever since we expanded into investigative reporting in 2021. We are also honored to receive a new seed funding grant from the national Fund for Investigative Journalism. Both grants support our 2024 investigations and new episodes of “The Climate Divide.”

SoundExchange also joined our community of supporters with a first-ever donation to Hola Cultura this year.

Thank you to all of our supporters. We are touched and humbled by everyone who has supported our work, both big institutions and individual donors who give whatever they can.

This can include you! If you haven’t given, now is a great time to donate to Hola Cultura and help us achieve all of our exciting summer 2024 storytelling goals!

Help us update our style guide

Hola Cultura’s Copy Editing team is currently at work expanding the organization’s style guide. As we consider ways to best and most succinctly refer to people of different races, ethnicities and nationalities, we would like to hear your thoughts on various topics that relate to questions of identity and representation.

We’ve created a short survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Take the survey and share your opinion.
