Abstract
Distributive inequity in funding for ALAANA (Asian/South Asian, Latinx, African /Black, Arab/Middle-Eastern, Native/Indigenous Americans) arts organizations has plagued the sector for decades. Rooted in the systemic racial issues of America, a lack of collective reckoning has allowed this issue to persist. Previous research has proved the presence of this profound issue within the arts and culture sector and it hinders society from experiencing the panoply of artistic expression that ALAANA organizations bring. Studies have given suggestions to donors and funders alike, offering tips and techniques to help them reassess their own distributive tendencies and recognize areas where they have perpetuated the inequities. Yet, more research should be done to provide thoughts, concerns, and suggestions from the perspective of organizations who suffer from distributive inequity. This paper reaffirms the presence of distributive inequity in funding and gives six local organizations the space to voice their opinions. As a qualitative case study, it adds more detail from the perspective of the organizations, which has not been fully shown in previous research. It revealed that ALAANA arts organizations want donors and funders to make a concerted effort to disrupt the current nonprofit system and focus on relationship building within the nonprofit arts sector.
