Thanks to the extraordinary compassion of our thea Thanks to the extraordinary compassion of our theater community and #RedBuckets audiences, together we awarded a record $3 million in direct service grants this June.

This marks the largest single-round increase in Broadway Cares' history, bringing our 2026 National Grants Program total across all four rounds to $8.7 million. You’ve also helped provide over $9 million in support to @alifeinthearts this year.

“Behind every grant are countless individuals; each person seeking stability, support and the chance to move forward,” Executive Director Danny Whitman said. “These grants help ensure people are not facing life’s hardest moments alone."
