100% of New Dramatists income is contributed through grants, government awards, individuals, two fundraisers, and generous estate gifts. We do not charge writers for any services we offer, nor do we financially participate in their work. All of our artistic events are offered to the public free of charge. We're deeply grateful for our contributors, who understand the value of investing in talented artists and providing them with the fertile ground they need in order to create, take risks, and make bold new theatre.

We strive to ensure our Donor lists are complete and accurate.If you have questions or changes, please contact Development Director Tiffany Baran or call (212) 757-6960.

2017-2018 Fundraising efforts and events

  • Core Institutional Support

    New Dramatists’ programs are made possible, in part, by public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State legislature. The Jerry A. Tishman Playwrights Creativity Fund is sustained by the Jerry A. Tishman Living Trust. The Fund was founded in 2008 by a lead grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and has received additional major support from the Time Warner Foundation and the Scherman Foundation’s Katharine S. and Axel G. Rosin Fund. Extended musical workshops supported in part by the Frederick Loewe Foundation. Special thanks to The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust for supporting New Dramatists. Special thanks to Google for its Ad Grant, which provides in-kind AdWords advertising to promote New Dramatists’ mission, writers and events on Google search result pages.

  • Legacy Gifts

    LEGACY GIVING AT NEW DRAMATISTS

    New Dramatists is deeply grateful for those who elected to support our work through estate gifts and the assignment of estate intellectual property royalties. This support has, over the decades, provided crucial support for this organization and allowed us to keep the pressure of ticket sales outside the walls of our Church.

    BEQUEST PLEDGES

    Jerry A. Tishman

    In addition to a leadership-level pledge from Mr. Tishman, a number of other long-time friends and supporters of New Dramatists have pledged bequest gifts to the organization. At this time, these donors prefer to remain anonymous.

    LEGACY GIFTS RECEIVED TO DATE:
