The Soze Agency — Right of Return Fellowship (2019)

[Criminal Justice Reform] Grant investigator: Chloe Cockburn This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Soze Agency staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $320,000 to The Soze Agency to support its Right of Return fellowship program for formerly incarcerated artists. The fellowship provides fellows with materials, a stipend, and mentorship under co-founders Jesse Krimes and Russel Craig. Fellows work closely with criminal justice reform organizations, using art and the artistic process to highlight issues and further criminal justice reform efforts. This follows our August 2018 support and falls within our focus area of criminal justice reform.
