This Giving Tuesday, Help Broadway Show Up for Democracy

Broadway for Democracy is a nonpartisan nonprofit that uses the power of Broadway, its artists, its stories, and its audiences, to inspire civic participation. Founded in 2026, we help theatre fans and theatre workers register, get informed, and vote.

Why give now

A first-year nonprofit. A first-year gift that goes further.

Broadway's stories, songs, and stages have always brought people together across backgrounds and beliefs. We're channeling that power into civic participation, helping fans and theatre workers register, get informed, and vote. We're nonpartisan, and we never tell anyone how to vote.

Because we're new, every Giving Tuesday gift helps lay the foundation: the programs, partnerships, and events we'll build on for years to come.
