The Actors' Equity Foundation supports the professional theatre community, from emerging artists to seasoned vets, while promoting and investing in the theatre and the performing arts.

We give grants to over 150 nonprofit theatres across the nation annually and to agencies and institutions serving the arts community. We also produce educational programming for actors and stage managers, as well as an annual awards event. Union dues are not used to fund the Foundation. Your contributions enable us to strengthen our support of today's performing artists and the broader live entertainment industry.
