Congratulations Spy Hop Productions! This is the first significant local grant awarded in our market by the NBA Foundation. Check out the incredible work they are doing in our community 💜 #CommunityObsessed
We're excited to announce that Spy Hop has been selected to receive a $325,000 grant from the NBA Foundation for programmatic support and to strengthen Spy Hop’s Amplify Black Youth Voice Initiative. The initiative increases Black youth and young adult engagement with Spy Hop's free media arts mentorships in film, music, audio, and design and leverages Phase 2 Productions, Spy Hop's alum-run video production company, to uplift Black-owned businesses and community partnerships. “We are beyond grateful for and excited to embark on this new partnership with the NBA Foundation, who secure meaningful employment for Black youth and build a national network of career pathways for Black youth across the United States,” commented Kasandra VerBrugghen, Spy Hop’s Executive Director. “We are honored to uplift our world through youth voice with the NBA Foundation as partners. Not everyone begins on a level playing field, and we will work together with Utah’s youth and their families to ensure that everyone has what they need to thrive on their journey.” Learn more about this initiative at spyhop.org/amplify
