SFP is the proud recipient of a Shubert Foundation grant to be attributed to ongoing operational costs. The Shubert Foundation is the nation's largest funder dedicated to unrestricted funding of not-for-profit theatres and dance companies. In 2024, The Shubert Foundation awarded a record total of $40 million to 653 not-for-profit arts organizations across the United States.

The funding criteria set by the Shubert Foundation marks that grantee candidates must have a record of professional performance activity, a record of developing and producing new work, demonstrated fiscal responsibility, and minimum operating expenses of $150,000 annually. The Shubert Foundation gives priority in providing support to professional resident theatre and dance companies that develop and produce new American work.

This year, SFP has received a company record high of a $25,000 grant, having received the grant in gradually increasing amounts since 2023. As the needs of the organization grow, additional staffing costs grow with it. This grant marks a continued investment by nationally recognized granting organizations in the work and progress made by SFP's programming and initiatives.

To support ongoing artistic programming, separate from operational cost funding, SFP launches its midyear fundraising campaign for general donations.

As they enter the second half of their season, SFP aims to raise $50,000 by July 31 to stay on track and continue sustaining professional artists and fearless storytelling in Northern New Mexico. Unlike the Shubert Foundation Grant, which funds operations, this campaign directly supports the artists, designers, and design elements for the productions.

If you would like to support SFP's continued development and contribute to the SFP Midyear Fundraising campaign, please visit SantaFePlayhouse.org or contact Director of Development Rae Dobrovolsky at development@santafeplayhouse.org .
