Invest in Liberation
Your support fuels the next generation of artists and activists who are building liberated communities through art, education, and social justice
Why Your Support Matters
At 1Hood Media Academy, we believe that art is not just expression—it’s liberation. It’s power. It’s change. Every donation you make directly supports our mission to build liberated communities through art, education, and social justice.
Your contribution empowers young people to tell their own stories, develops the next generation of artist-activists, and creates platforms for voices that need to be heard.

Shifting Power Through Community Support
Everything we do, including raising money, places community first. Together—1Hood staff and board members, community members and partners, individual donors and foundation partners—we share resources, shift power, and provide opportunity with respect and in response to community needs.
We recognize that general operating support allows us to be the most effective, flexible, and responsive to community needs. Your unrestricted support is key to our long-term sustainability and community impact, including our commitment to share resources with aligned organizations, artists, small businesses, and partners.
We’re shifting the donor dynamic from donor power to partnership by amplifying the experience and decision-making power of those working in our communities—and sharing social capital as much as dollars donated.
“The mission of 1Hood Media Academy is to build liberated communities through art, education, and social justice.”
Your donation makes this mission possible.
