Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS
What we do together, makes a difference
Preview 0f: Annual Report 2025
October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025
From the President and the Executive Director
Dear friends,
As we reflect on all we have accomplished in the fiscal year 2025, we find ourselves continually inspired by the extraordinary generosity of our community.
This year has been one of remarkable moments: events that united our community, shared joy and created pathways to lifesaving care. It’s a powerful feeling to be able to say: by supporting Broadway Cares, you’re not just addressing a single issue — you’re tackling the bigger picture.
Because of your support, in fiscal year 2025 Broadway Cares granted a record-breaking $8.3 million to the Entertainment Community Fund’s vital programs, providing entertainment professionals with a vital safety net of life-affirming services including healthcare and insurance counseling, affordable housing, emergency financial assistance and more.
Through our National Grants Program, $9.5 million was awarded to 483 AIDS and social services across the country, assisting people in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. with access to doctors and medication, nutritious meals and other essential services.
This is all possible because of you. Thank you for continuing to be the reason hope persists, even in the face of uncertainty, and the reason lives continue to be transformed.
Your support has proven, time and time again, that what we do together makes a difference.
With gratitude,
Robert E. Wankel
President
Danny Whitman
Executive Director

Entertainment Community Fund
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the single largest financial supporter of the Entertainment Community Fund, which provides a safety net of supportive services to all in entertainment and the performing arts. Broadway Cares provided $8.38 million to the Fund in fiscal year 2025.
For decades, Angela Babin has balanced science and compassion. Before leading the Entertainment Community Fund’s Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, she built a career in occupational safety, pediatric oncology and industrial hygiene — fields that demand precision, empathy and resilience.
Her path might seem far removed from the arts, but Babin’s life has always moved to a creative rhythm. Raised by a pianist-composer father and a ballerina mother, she understands the beauty and fragility of a performer’s life. That mix of artistry and expertise now proves essential.
“I’ve always been drawn to work that connects people to care,” she said. “Now I get to do that in a world that feels like home. My work intertwines the people I know and love with topical matters I care about and have spent my life studying in research and health care settings.”
That connection defines the initiative she now leads. The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative was established in 1996 with seed funding from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The program provides direct assistance, health guidance and emotional support to women and nonbinary members of the performing arts community navigating serious illness, mental health challenges and caregiving responsibilities.
Over its three decades, the initiative has grown from a single caseworker serving a handful of artists into a cornerstone of the Fund’s care programs, helping hundreds each year.
Thanks to Broadway Cares supporters, in fiscal year 2025 $800,000 was shared with the initiative. This support is just one part of Broadway Cares’ longstanding partnership with the Entertainment Community Fund, which totaled $8.38 million in 2025 to help provide a broad range of essential services for people across the entertainment industry.
Since Broadway Cares first expanded its support beyond the HIV/AIDS Initiative to the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, the organization has championed a safety net of services, including The Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts, Artists Health Insurance Resource Center (AHIRC), Addiction and Recovery Services, The Dancers’ Resource and the Broadway Flu Shot Initiative.
Babin understands the aspects of an artist’s life that make accessing traditional care difficult. Performers often lack stable health insurance, work unpredictable schedules and face the unique pressure of staying “on” even when unwell. A diagnosis or family emergency can jeopardize both health and livelihood. The initiative steps in to bridge those gaps — covering rent or medical bills, offering counseling and connecting clients with trusted specialists who understand the demands of a creative life.
Artists are resilient, she said, but they shouldn’t have to go it alone.
“We are needed so much right now,” Babin said. “Our community went through COVID and its shutdown, the writers’ strike and wildfires. Now, in the United States, there are challenges affecting health care and health insurance coverage. People can’t afford treatments.”
Babin’s caseload reflects the scope of need: artists managing endometriosis, thyroid cancer, long COVID or recovery after gender-affirming surgery. Others seek mental health support or relief from the exhaustion of caregiving. Each story is unique, but the goal is the same — to restore health, hope and stability.
For Babin, the impact isn’t measured in numbers alone but in renewed confidence.
“When someone knows their rent is covered, their energy can turn back toward healing,” she said. “They get better — and then they tell someone else. There’s a ripple effect.”
Sometimes, that ripple looks as simple as self-kindness. Babin recalled a client from a meditation group who had recently recovered from illness. Mid-session, the woman excused herself to answer the door and returned with a bouquet she’d sent to herself. That small act of care became a moment of inspiration for everyone on the call.
To Babin, those moments embody what the initiative represents.
“We remind people that they matter,” she said. “Even when they’re scared or struggling, they’re still part of a community that won’t let them face it alone.”

National Grants
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS’ National Grants Program awarded $9.5 million in fiscal year 2025 to 483 social service organizations in all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. These are a few of their stories.
Across the country, the longtime lifelines for people living with HIV are confronting a stark reality: government funding cuts, rising costs and increased demand are stretching resources thinner than ever.
In the face of this growing urgency, the $9.5 million awarded in fiscal year 2025 provided a crucial safety net of meals and medication, healthcare and hope.
“In this climate of political and economic uncertainty, Broadway Cares’ commitment to sustaining grassroots service providers like ours is deeply meaningful,” shared Aundaray Guess, executive director of GRIOT Circle in Brooklyn, New York. “[Its] partnership over the years has not only provided vital resources but has helped affirm the humanity and worth of the LGBTQ elders of color we serve.”
GRIOT Circle received a $10,000 grant to sustain its Buddy 2 Buddy program, which pairs volunteers with older adults living with HIV for wellness check-ins and companionship. “From accompaniment to doctor’s appointments and consistent calls, to cultivating the deep emotional support that so many of our members rely on, this program remains a critical source of wellness, companionship and chosen family,” Guess said.
In San Diego, the organization Townspeople continues to serve as a beacon of stability for people living with HIV/AIDS, providing housing, peer-based counseling and other lifesaving support. The organization received a $5,000 grant in support of its direct services, funding that fills critical gaps left by restricted public contracts.
“The kind of care we provide isn’t always visible on a spreadsheet,” William Ward, Townspeople’s grants and compliance specialist, said. “It looks like trust built over months, a timely intervention that prevents a crisis or simply showing up when no one else can. It’s in the way we listen, the way we stay and the way we honor each person’s path to stability.”
That compassion has long extended to Nashville CARES, a Broadway Cares grantee since 1988. The organization provides comprehensive care for people living with HIV across Middle Tennessee, offering everything from case management and access to medication to food assistance, counseling and community-building programs.
Nashville CARES’ impact resonates through clients like Margaret, who knows firsthand how vital that support can be.
“I lost four apartments and every time, Nashville CARES was there to pick me up,” Margaret said. “They never criticized me, never judged me. Through their programs, I learned everything I could about living with HIV and got control of my health. But if folks start cutting the resources that keep us going, the death rate’s gonna soar again.”
In 2025, Broadway Cares awarded $12,500 to Nashville CARES. While these funds directly support Margaret and others like her in accessing life-affirming care, Nashville CARES – like many organizations across the South – faced the ongoing risk of losing critical funding beyond this generosity.
“Right now, we’re being funded year to year for prevention education in Tennessee, which makes it nearly impossible to build sustainable, long-term programs,” Amna Osman, CEO of Nashville CARES, said. “We’re fighting every day just to keep these essential services going. That’s why the support of Broadway Cares and our donors means so much. Because we can see the difference it makes, every single day, in people’s lives and in our community.”
Together, these grants form a lifeline for millions navigating difficult, often impossible choices – between rent or medication, between food or transportation to a doctor’s appointment. For Broadway Cares, this record-breaking year is not just a celebration of generosity, but a call to sustain it.
“While we can’t replace every dollar of lost funding, we can promise this: Broadway Cares will remain a steady, reliable partner, now and in the years ahead,” Executive Director Danny Whitman said. “The need has never been greater, and neither has our shared humanity.”
That shared humanity is what connects every meal delivered, every prescription filled and every hand extended in care. It’s what fuels GRIOT Circle’s Buddy 2 Buddy volunteers, inspires Townspeople’s frontline workers and drives Nashville CARES’ compassionate team to meet each client where they are.
“You’re helping people who are struggling,” Margaret in Nashville said. “Paying a security deposit, turning lights back on, finding a safe place to live. Your generosity helps them live healthier, fuller lives. We can’t do it without you.”

International Grants
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS awarded $420,228 in fiscal year 2025 to AIDS service organizations and other social service programs across South Africa and through other international initiatives.
“Care for us and accept us – we are all human beings.”
Those powerful words were spoken 25 years ago by Nkosi Johnson, a South African child living with HIV, at the International AIDS Conference. His courage and advocacy transformed public perceptions of the epidemic across Africa. Though he tragically passed away at just 12 years old, his legacy endures — bringing hope and support to South African children affected by HIV and AIDS.
Alongside his adoptive mother, Nkosi established Nkosi’s Haven in Johannesburg, a refuge providing care for mothers and children impacted by HIV/AIDS. The organization has been a Broadway Cares grantee since 1999 and is among more than a dozen South Africa organizations that receive annual grants from Broadway Cares in partnership with The Lion King. Nkosi’s Haven offers residential support, ensuring families receive medical care, education and nourishment in a nurturing environment.
Since The Lion King opened on Broadway 27 years ago, a portion of the funds raised for Broadway Cares by the production has been directed to local AIDS service organizations in South Africa, identified by members of the show’s South African cast. These 15 organizations include health clinics, food pantries, orphanages and job training programs.
With the 2025 grants, Broadway Cares’ total giving in South Africa surpassed $6.4 million.
At Nkosi’s Haven, up to 150 HIV-positive orphans, mothers and children find a safe home where they can access lifesaving medical care, attend school and receive nutritious meals to support their health. Inspired by Nkosi’s vision, the dedicated staff provides emotional and psychological support, ensuring the children are empowered, supported and safe.
The connection between Broadway Cares and Nkosi’s Haven is deeply personal. By serving on the grant-making committee, company members of The Lion King play an active role in ensuring essential support reaches their hometowns and communities across the country they care about.
Through the generosity of Broadway audiences and the leadership and commitment of The Lion King company, Nkosi’s words continue to resonate – encouraging care, acceptance and hope to those who need them most.

Corporate Partners
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is fortunate to have the continued support of a broad range of corporate partners.
Created in response to the HIV and AIDS epidemic, M·A·C VIVA GLAM has spent more than 30 years using beauty as a force for good, donating 100% of the selling price of every VIVA GLAM lip product to organizations advancing healthy futures and equal rights for all. We’re proud to partner with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to expand access to lifesaving care and services.
For more than 140 years, Playbill has celebrated the artists and professionals who bring theater to life. Its support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS since our earliest days reflects that same commitment to the theater community, helping ensure compassionate, lifesaving support is there when it’s needed most. Playbill proudly stands alongside Broadway Cares in caring for the people who make theater possible.
United’s shared purpose “Connecting People. Uniting the World” drives its decision making, supported by its core values: safety, caring, dependability and efficiency. United believes in the transformative power of travel. It can lift economies, advance society, open hearts and expand minds. As a partner of Broadway Cares for 30 years, United helps turn that spirit of connection and caring into lifesaving support for people in need across the country.
ViiV Healthcare is the only pharmaceutical company 100% dedicated to delivering advances in treatment and care for people living with HIV and those who could benefit from HIV prevention. ViiV Healthcare is proud to support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and its work connecting people to essential services and strengthening communities as we work together to end the HIV epidemic.
As the philanthropic heart of the Broadway community, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is able to connect major corporate brands with one of the nation’s foremost creative industries and our most loyal supporters. We are also able to ensure that a corporation’s support reaches into nearly every community in the country through our National Grants Program.
Our Corporate Partners are able to build brand loyalty among millions of people associated with Broadway, be it on tour, onstage, backstage or in the audience.
Partner with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on a broad range of projects that could include annual partnership, event sponsorship, customized programming, cash and in-kind donations.
We salute these generous partners for their compassionate commitment to making a difference.
For more information about corporate partnership, event sponsorship or opportunities to bring a bit of Broadway magic to your next corporate or private event, please contact Sarah Cardillo, director of development, at cardillo@broadwaycares.org.
Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society
The Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society is the planned giving program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, honoring those who have included Broadway Cares in their estate plan or will.
The society is named for the late Colleen Dewhurst, the Tony Award-winning actor and past president of Actors’ Equity Association. She pioneered the formation of the Equity Fights AIDS Committee, which merged with Broadway Cares in 1992 to become the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS of today.
“I’m so proud of what we do for each other. There are so many people who thought this thing would never go. That it couldn’t be done. But it happened anyway because so many people came forward and, in many different ways, made it happen. And to this very day, I love you all for that.”
– Colleen Dewhurst, June 1991
Joining the Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society ensures that the values that mean so much to you will extend far into the future.
Please contact Nick Mayo, major gifts and planned giving officer, at mayo@broadwaycares.org for information on how to include Broadway Cares in your estate plan or will.
