The International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston has received a $250,000 grant from TD Bank, the museum announced May 23.
The grant will be used to fund the TD Bank Program Series, which will feature nine major community events and programs from 2022 to 2024 and include major national speaker and panel programs as well as Lowcountry arts and foodways events.
“Our ability to convene community through programs and dialogue is critical to activating the museum’s mission – and I’m delighted that this second grant from TD Bank makes this possible in a significant way,” said IAAM president and CEO Tonya Matthews. “With this support we can expand our programs, reaching more audiences near and far. I’m particularly excited about our plans to create programs that showcase and engage authentic African American cultural arts and storytelling here in Charleston – right alongside national figures and pop culture touch points. We’re so grateful to our partners at TD for the generosity and continued support that is making this possible.”
In 2016, TD Bank’s Charitable Foundation also donated $250,000 to support IAMM’s capital campaign.
