About TONYC's funding needs: The cost of running a single Forum Theatre Troupe is $36,000 per cycle! This means that if we sold 100 tickets at $360 each, we could fund the full cycle of a single Troupe — and that’s before factoring in the costs that support our administrative staff, office space, and more. TONYC runs 12 play-building cycles annually, which are funded primarily through grants, allowing us to keep tickets free while paying actors and Jokers, covering transportation costs, buying props and costumes, and doing everything else that makes our shows happen!

Historically, TONYC has been primarily supported through grants. In the past four years, operational expenses have drastically increased, but our funding has not. While TONYC has an abundance of community enthusiasm for our work, we still need $252,000 of funding in 2024. A donation of any amount will support our organization in a shifting funding landscape.
