Overview

Every Page Foundation, established in 1998 as "Art Happens" and renamed The Kaleta A. Doolin Foundation in 2015, recently rebranded in 2024 following a strategic recalibration. The foundation now operates as a feminist non-profit organization dedicated to being a resource and strategic partner for social and environmental justice by protecting and advocating for women and girls. With assets exceeding $51 million, the foundation has awarded 325 grants totaling over $19.9 million to 208 organizations since 2015. Under the leadership of Executive Director Dr. Breea Govenar (appointed 2020), the foundation has evolved from its original focus on promoting women artists in American institutions to a broader mission advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts and sciences while addressing critical issues affecting women's health, security, and career development.

Governance and Leadership

President and Treasurer: Kaleta Doolin - Founder, artist, and philanthropist dedicated to creating equal representation for women in the arts. Active with Zonta Club of Dallas for 30 years, co-founded Texas African American Photography Archive, and works with Women Donor's Network.

Executive Director: Breea Govenar, Ph.D. (appointed 2020) - First Executive Director of the foundation

Vice President: Alan Govenar

Kaleta Doolin's guiding philosophy: "We need more solo shows for women. We must broaden the public dialogue. Women go into museums and galleries and don't see representation of what women create. I've been looking for ways to make significant contributions in my lifetime and beyond. I want to be an advocate for women artists."

Dr. Breea Govenar on the foundation's commitment: "Every Page Foundation is thrilled to partner with the Wexner Center for the Arts for the first time with the innovative Path Fellowship, [demonstrating our] commitment to fostering career pathways for the next generation of arts leaders."

Application Success Factors

Alignment with Mission is Critical: The foundation explicitly states that support is contingent upon alignment with their mission and funding priorities. Applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed work advances equity for women and girls and/or encourages cultural diversity and representation in the arts and sciences.

Demonstrate Prior Success for Bedrock Grants: The foundation awards Bedrock Grants (their most common grant type) "based on prior and demonstrable success or achievement." Include concrete evidence of your organization's track record and measurable outcomes.

Bold Vision for Tectonic Grants: If seeking transformational funding, emphasize "new, bold, and transformative plans for systemic change." The foundation is interested in groundbreaking approaches that create lasting impact.

Career Development Focus for Magma Grants: When applying for mentorship/fellowship programs, emphasize how your program will "support a new generation of creative leaders" with clear pathways for career advancement.

Reporting and Communication Requirements: Organizations must obtain prior approval before publicly recognizing the grant in any medium. Grant reports are due within 13 months of each grant check date, including representative images, event invitations, and copies of major deliverables. This suggests the foundation values transparency and documentation of impact.
