Arts funding is shrinking—and for organizations like ours, that reality is deeply felt.
Across the country, support for the arts continues to be cut, making it harder for small and community-rooted organizations to survive, let alone grow. This reality is compounded by structural barriers—because we are currently fiscally sponsored, we were not eligible for the NHC Endowment Arts funding this round. But even in the face of these challenges, we are choosing to stay committed to the work that matters.
Because the truth is: the kind of work we do—work that is thought-provoking, community-centered, and rooted in truth—doesn’t always generate the kind of earned income needed to sustain itself. It isn’t always commercial. It isn’t always easy. But it is necessary.
And we are not stepping away from that responsibility.
We are also deeply grateful for the support of our fiscal sponsor, whose partnership allows us to continue this work during a critical stage of growth. Their belief in our mission helps make it possible for us to keep showing up, even in uncertain times.
We are actively working to build a stronger future by:
•
Becoming a standalone 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
• Raising
funds to bring our upcoming performance to the main stage
•
Sustaining the operational costs that allow us to keep creating,
teaching, and showing up for our community
This is a pivotal moment for us. Not just to survive—but to grow with intention and integrity.
If you believe in the power of art to challenge, inspire, and transform communities, we invite you to stand with us.
We are currently working to raise critical funds to support our transition to a standalone 501(c)(3), bring our upcoming mainstage performance to life, and sustain the operational foundation of our organization. Every contribution—no matter the size—directly impacts our ability to continue this work.
Join us in reaching our goal. Donate, share, and advocate. Your support helps ensure that this work continues—not just for today, but for the future.
We remain committed. We remain focused. And most importantly—we remain here.
