Shubert Foundation Accepting Theater Grant Applications

The Shubert Foundation is dedicated to sustaining and advancing the live performing arts in the United States, with a particular emphasis on theater and a secondary focus on dance.

Not-for-profit, professional resident theater companies are the primary recipients of foundation funding, with an emphasis on producing, rather than presenting, organizations. A smaller amount of funding is provided for dance companies. The foundation also makes a limited number of grants to arts-related not-for-profit organizations working to support the development of theater and dance, and to graduate drama departments of private universities.

The foundation awards unrestricted grants for general operating support to U.S. nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations only. The foundation does not make grants to individuals.

Grants will be made only to organizations that have an established artistic and administrative track record as well as a pattern of fiscal responsibility. The foundation does not provide funds for project support, audience development, direct subsidies of reduced-price admissions, media (film, TV, or radio), renovation projects, or capital or endowment campaigns. No grants will be made to conduit organizations (agencies that disburse funds to individuals or other organizations).

Applicants may not request a specific grant amount; if the foundation determines that it will fund an organization, it will also determine the amount of the grant.

The foundation has two grant application timetables. The 2012 application deadline for dance, arts-related, and education categories has passed. Theater applications must be submitted by December 3, 2012.
