THE
IMPACT
Thespian Relief Fund to
Save School Theatre
School theatre programs use box office proceeds to fund their next year's shows. With schools closed and spring shows canceled, many theatre programs are at risk of failing. Plus, with the massive cuts anticipated in state education budgets, arts and theatre programs will be at even greater risk. Thespian Relief Fund grants to help save school theatre will be awarded to schools in most need, including Title 1 schools with significant student enrollments of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
The Thespian Relief Fund program will offer two types of grants to help school theatre programs. Troupes can apply for one or both of the grants for a total of $1,500 per school.
$500
GRANTS
$500 grants for schools to start or renew a Thespian Troupe and cover lifetime fees for ten students.
$1,000
GRANTS
$1000 grants to assist school theatre programs that have been negatively impacted by cancellation of events or loss of projected revenue.
Theatre is not a hobby for the privileged few.
Your donation to Project Sing Out! will be allocated to Thespian troupe theatre programs in Title 1 schools all across America. A rigorous application process will ensure that grants are awarded to schools in most need and with significant BIPOC student enrollments.
Your gift in any amount will help, but please be as generous as you can. Every child in America deserves access to theatre in their school because it teaches essential skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking to enable success in college, career, and life.
Your investment will resonate beyond this current crisis, providing needed funds for schools and fueling long-term programmatic impact. No act of generosity is too small to make a difference.
