The Shubert Foundation (TSF) announced today a record $40 million in unrestricted grants to 653 not-for-profit theatres, dance companies, academic theatre training programs and related service agencies across the country. TSF provides grants that benefit a broad spectrum of theatre and dance orgaizations—from large to small, from urban to rural. The Shubert Foundation, which is unique in opening its doors to all applicants, without requiring an invitation, has also further increased access to theatre and dance companies across the country by revising requirements for those organizations with the smallest budgets. In addition to this year’s funding to theatre and dance companies nationally, The Shubert Foundation also allocated $730,000 to the NYC Public Schools in support of arts education efforts. The Shubert Scholars Program provides another $1.2M in scholarships to students in university theatre arts programs to help alleviate student debt for early career artists, and recently established endowed scholarship programs at Spelman and Morehouse Colleges.
