What is the Theatre Artists Fund?

 

Theatre Artists Fund has been created to provide emergency support for theatre workers and freelance professionals across the UK, in need of urgent and critical financial support due to the devastating impact of Covid-19 on the theatre sector. Applications are currently closed.

Thank you to all our donors, and especially our headline supporters Netflix, The Estate of Sir Peter and Lady Saunders, Backstage Trust, Arts Council England, John Gore & Broadway.com, Talking Heads Collective, Gatsby Charitable Foundation, Jerwood Foundation, The Mackintosh Foundation, and Warner Media.

We invite industry figures, corporations, foundations, and individual theatre goers alike who care deeply about the future of the theatre industry in the UK to donate. The more donations we receive, the more people we can help through this difficult time.

Our ambition for the fund is to provide short-term relief across the UK, and particularly to those from underrepresented groups disproportionately affected by the crisis. Please help spread the word #TheatreArtistsFund.

“Hearing the individual stories of those for whom we have managed to provide short-term financial relief is a stark and moving reminder about why we created this fund in the first place. Their passion and refusal to give up have made us want to continue to push for more support from the public and the industry alike. So for all those out there, who are on the verge of giving up, we have one message: Don’t."
- Sam Mendes
