Summer is a real funding gap for a lot of cultural nonprofits. Between spring grant cycles and fall decisions, funds can run low—while programs and community needs keep moving.

That's why we were proud to support Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) during the Miami Foundation State of Black Philanthropy campaign -- and raise the stakes -- for a summer fundraising initiative.

The goal: $11,000 to unlock an $11,000 match (a $22,000 target in May) to support Black philanthropy organizations across Miami-Dade County. DVCAI was one of six organizations selected to be celebrated and featured in the campaign.

With a focused marketing push from Font Squared behind the fundraising effort, DVCAI not only secured the full match—supporters helped bring the campaign to $27,097 raised from 42 donors.

Summer campaigns like this aren't "extra." They're strategic bridges between grant cycles—helping organizations stay resourced, visible, and resilient until new funding arrives in the fall.
