 Ondas Cultural and Movement Arts (Ondas CMA) incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2023. This CULTURAL BIPOC-led & community-focused organization primarily serves the residents of Fort Worth and surrounding areas, including both school- aged youth and adults. In-house services include fee-based classes in a variety of cultural arts, and regular free programs such as a Book Club, a monthly Family Night, Free Community Day Activities, and two Cultural Festivals each year - we also provide onsite services for local schools, universities, community focused festivals, and cultural events including those focusing on Black, Latinx and Brazilian history.

Your gift sustains diasporic arts—the arts that build and strengthen communities. Your donation will allow us to offer more after-school programming for schools with limited or no funding, expand free programs for families and adults, and pay diasporic teachers fairly for their expertise. Please give. Early giving begins August 27, and Giving Day is Thursday, September 17.
