We are proud to team up with other organizations working and advocating for small businesses in the theatre and performing arts and those providing resources for the people of the performing arts community.
The American Theatre Wing is a not-for-profit organization, founded on the eve of America’s entry into WWI by 7 suffragists and theatre makers who came together to support the nation by harnessing the power of theatre. More than a century later, ATW’s vital work continues to be driven by the fundamental belief that theatre is essential to our economic, educational, and social and emotional well-being as a society.
Through a powerful suite of programs that address all aspects of the national theatre ecology, ATW encourages the discovery of theatre by people of all ages, nurtures talent on stage and off, creates pathways for success for students and young professionals, and encourages the development of the art form itself by recognizing and supporting innovative and excellent work with awards and grants. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a guiding principle of all of ATW’s work and programs.
Founded in 1882, The Actor's Fund serves all professionals—and not just actors—in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance through programs that address the community's unique and essential needs.
Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.
As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, they directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via online resources.
Be An #ArtsHero is an intersectional, grassroots movement that emphasizes Arts & Culture’s contribution to the economy, highlighting the human and financial toll of letting that contribution collapse. They are a united, sector-wide coalition calling for Congress to allocate proportionate relief to the Arts & Culture sector.
