Summary: 

Established in 2016, the Pop Culture Collaborative is a philanthropic resource and funder learning community that uses grantmaking, convening, narrative strategy, and research to transform the narrative landscape around people of color, immigrants, refugees, Muslims, and Native people in popular culture. It is an initative of several foundations, led by the foundation 'Unbound Philanthropy'. 

Through partnerships between the social justice sector and the pop culture industries, the Collaborative aims to support activists, artists, and philanthropists in encouraging more accurate narratives around migrants and other marginalised peoples to be spread to mass audiences. 

The Collaborative does this through four key interlinking strategies: 

  • Strategic grantmaking to build the needed infrastructure, pipelines, experiments, and expertise to create change at a large scale;
  • Research, knowledge exchange, and relationship building to seed collaboration between the social change and pop culture sectors;
  • Design of a pop culture narrative system; and
  • Funder Education to increase investment in the pop culture for social change field.
