Broadway Cares sends more than $1.5 million in emergency grants to organizations in need
www.broadwaynews.com: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS announced on Nov. 7 that it would supply $1.5 million in emergency grants to support food service organizations around the U.S. The Broadway nonprofit has also pledged $100,000 to two charities responding to those affected by Hurricane Melissa.

The fact that Broadway has a large nonprofit organization that targets people onstage, backstage, and audience to fund it is both phenomenal and a little sad. It’s a testament to the pay that the onstage and backstage people receive to be able to donate to organizations. It’s lovely to see people willing to donate after events and even in these hard times for so many people. I think that shifting to take care of the most vulnerable communities among us is a testament to the theater community and the empathy and belief that all people deserve to continue their stories even if they are far away from Broadway and the community collecting funds. I hadn’t realized that the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS supported organizations with grants outside of the LGBT+ community as I had thought their focus was on the communities that were reflected within their walls. It’s heartwarming to see other organizations step-up when our government has failed the most vulnerable among us.
