The Foundation of the American Theatre Critics Association, Inc.
All dues-paying members of ATCA are also members of its separate and distinct Foundation. Formed in 1991, Foundation ATCA is a public, not-for-profit, tax-exempt charitable corporation — organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code — that provides financial and other tangible support for scholarships, critics’ institutes, ATCA awards, educational talks and seminars and other eligible programs. The Foundation has its own officers and board of directors, overlapping with ATCA’s, who work closely with ATCA to assist critics in their professional development and support the theater community in general.
The Foundation has a set goal, not yet achieved, of raising sufficient funds to support its grants and programs from its annual investment income. In the wake of the successfully-completed members-only Silver Anniversary Campaign, it continues to fundraise from individual and corporate donors through its 21st Century Theater Challenge and other named initiatives.
For information on how to participate, contact Jeffrey Eric Jenkins, President, Foundation ATCA, 825 President Street, Brooklyn, NY (718-789-5553) or editor@bestplays.org.
