Why give now

33 million theatregoers. One audience for democracy.

Each year, about 33 million people see a Broadway show, in New York and on tour. We reach that audience through the artists and stories they love, and turn applause into action: registering, getting informed, and voting. Always nonpartisan. We never tell anyone how to vote.

Because we're new, every year-end gift helps lay the foundation: the programs, partnerships, and events we'll build on for years to come. Gifts made by December 31 count toward your 2026 giving.
