Donors & Supporters
As of February 16th, 2023, after our first disbursement of awards, our endowment sits over $450,000. This has been raised by both the Canadian theatre community, foundations, and the general public. We send our immense gratitude to all of our donors. The full list of supporters can be found below.
We are looking to raise $600,000 to build an “in perpetuity” award and thanks to the support of those listed below we are almost there. Help us raise our final $150,000 by making a donation today.
The award will live on, with your gracious support.
On these shoulders, this award stands. Thank you.
