Our Impact

Arts. Community. Transformation.


At the Bartol Foundation, impact means more than numbers. It’s about connection, creativity, and care. We invest in community-led arts education that meets people where they are and uplifts voices that often go unheard. From trauma-informed teaching artist training to grassroots arts programs in every corner of Philadelphia, we center the work of those using the arts to build stronger, more just communities.

Each year, our support helps:

  • Teaching artists build skills and sustainability in their practice
  • Community members—especially youth—access meaningful, culturally relevant arts experiences
  • Organizations expand their reach and deepen their work with care and accountability

Our grants, training programs, and advocacy efforts reflect a deep belief in the power of the arts to heal, empower, and transform.

"Collaborating with the folks at the Hawai'i State Foundation and AHAS to craft a trauma-informed, place-based and equity-centric professional development experience was deeply transformative both for us as facilitators and for the participating teaching artists. Together, we moved through the grueling, and rewarding, work of challenging and unlearning harmful teaching traditions while practicing person-centric and liberation-centric approaches."
