THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HAS COST US $80,000.
ANTI-DEI GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES HAVE TAKEN AWAY OUR CRITICAL FUNDING.
We’re a small nonprofit, so $80k is…a lot of money. These guidelines were put in place to defund organizations like ours that fight for equality, so that we can do less work in the community and support fewer people.
And we can’t lie…it works. It is very difficult to keep our operation going with 80,000 fewer dollars. But we won’t let them win — we’re determined to keep going.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE NEED YOUR HELP.
WE WON’T LET THIS STOP US – BUT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

CREATE 2027 WITH US.
The end of the year is where we hunker down, get cozy, and plan for the next year.
As we’re making decisions about which shows to do, how many artists to hire, and what big dreams we should dream, the bottom line is always this: it costs money.
So, our year-end fundraising directly impacts what we’ll be able to accomplish in 2027.

OUR IMPACT
Over the last decade, we’ve reached theater artists and lovers all across the U.S.
165 FULL-LENGTH SHOWS
Produced across our four cities: New York, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta
4 CITIES
We started out as a small theater festival in Times Square. Since then, we’ve grown to 4 cities across the country, bringing original theater to the audiences who crave it most.
30,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS
That’s how many people across the country have seen work by women, trans, & non-binary writers through our programming.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
FROM STAGE TO SCREEN
We’re building a bridge for marginalized artists to move from stage to screen.
We’ve already begun this work by launching our new film wing with our first feature film, SHEEPWELL, an adaptation of the 2022 SheNYC Festival play by Margaret Rose Caterisano, premiering at the prestigious 2026 Austin Film Festival.
Our goal is to create a direct pipeline, taking the groundbreaking stories from our stages and bringing them to Hollywood, an industry where women still only represent 26% of key creative roles.
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
We know that what Americans see in the entertainment they consume – TV shows, movies, theater – impacts the way they see and interact with the world around them. We can do our part to build a more equitable future by bringing typically-marginalized stories, about issues that are important to our communities, to the mainstream.
FUEL THE CHANGE.
Now is the time to invest in the future of entertainment—one created by and for women, trans, and non-binary artists. Your donation will directly counter these attacks and fuel our most ambitious work yet.
Your 2027 Season gift will go directly toward:
Making Up for Lost Funding: Your contribution will replace the crucial NEA and other government funds that were taken from us, ensuring our festivals and programs can continue without interruption.
Fueling Our Film Wing: You will help us grow the pipeline from stage to screen, bringing more of our playwrights’ stories to film and television.
BIG NEWS: SHEEPWELL, our first feature film, will be premiering at the 2026 Austin Film Festival!
The message from those in power is clear: they want to silence these voices. Our message back must be louder. Let’s show them that our community is stronger than their hate.
Donate today and help us launch the next decade of SheNYC Arts.
