The Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation (SDCF) maintains an Emergency Assistance Fund to aid Members of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC) who are experiencing financial hardship.
The Fund was established in March 2020 when directors and choreographers sought to help fellow directors and choreographers meet their basic needs. Leadership gifts were provided by SDC Members Marc Bruni, Rachel Chavkin, Michael Greif, Thomas Kail, Susan Stroman, and Evan Yionoulis, and Josh Lehrer & Jeffrey Seller. Additional gifts were made by Liz Diamond, Andréa Burns & Peter Flynn, Sue Lawless, Des McAnuff, Jason Moore, Bartlett Sher, and Seema Sueko, and SDCF Trustees Mark Brokaw, Sheldon Epps, and Linda Hartzell. A full list of donors is below. A portion of this fund is specifically earmarked for New York City-based Members, thanks to a generous donation from the Howard Gilman Foundation.
The 2024 SDCF Emergency Assistance Fund is now open.
