2008 Guidelines

2008 Application

This program replaces the program that was formerly administered by the Alliance of Resident Theatres / New York. Theaters may now choose to apply on a competitive basis for either Core Program Support or Artistic Vision Support, depending on their respective organizational priorities. The New York Theater Program will provide three-year funding to selected New York City producing theaters through an open-application and juried process. To be eligible for funding an organization must fit the following criteria:

• The organization must be a producing theater in any of New York City’s five boroughs;
• The organization must have at least a five-year history as a 501(c)(3) organization, actively producing theater work; and
• The organization’s average operating expenses for FY06, 07, and 08 must be between $300,000 and $3.5 million per annum.

The New York Theater Program is aimed at supporting producing theaters defined broadly to include traditional “season-based” resident theaters, ensemble theaters, and new-work incubators.

NYFA’s Role - The Foundation has engaged NYFA as the program administrator for NYTP. NYFA will accept applications online, select panelists, moderate the review process, make recommendations for further program development, and maintain an active relationship with NYTP recipients.
