BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS NATIONAL GRANTS PROGRAM Active since 1987, BC/EFA’s National Grants Program has become one of the largest of its kind in the United States. A report published by Funders Concerned About AIDS showed that BC/EFA ranked sixth in the nation in terms of grant dollars disbursed for HIV/AIDS, just behind The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The Ford Foundation, and ahead of such longstanding philanthropic powerhouses as the Rockefeller Foundation, The New York Community Trust, and the California Endowment, among others. This achievement is a result of the rapid growth in our fundraising, and as a result, in our grant-making, over the past several years. From the outset, BC/EFA’s grants program has been fast, simple, and efficient. A concise two-page application allows us to make disbursements twice a year to hundreds of community-based organizations, an unusual feature among top AIDS grant-makers, and one that we have learned over the years is meaningful to relatively small organizations. The majority of these grassroots organizations operate on bare-bones budgets, but still manage to have significant impact on their own communities. The National Grants Program for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) at BC/EFA attempts to address the ongoing and unmet needs of these AIDS and family service organizations. Because AIDS is not just a single disease, but a combination of epidemics exacerbated by discrimination and poverty, our grants in this category are geared to those organizations that are providing case management, food, housing, transportation, emergency financial assistance, emotional support, and non-reimbursable and emergency medical expenses. In 2004, BC/EFA’s National Grants Committee awarded grants totaling $3,235,000 to over 564 AIDS and family service organizations in 49 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. (See the list of agencies by city and state, beginning on page 16). In 2002, a subset of the National Grants Program, called simply National Grants II, was created to allow BC/EFA to support, at a higher level, organizations serving large metropolitan areas or doing advocacy work that impacts the entire network of AIDS service providers, many of which have received financial support through BC/EFA’s longtime grants program for more than a decade. In 2004, BC/EFA awarded an additional $340,000 to 20 nationally recognized AIDS service and advocacy organizations through National Grants II. national grants program 12

Since a large portion of the money raised for BC/EFA comes directly from theatre audiences across America, not just New York, we are committed to assisting the full spectrum of communities affected by AIDS. By making grants to diverse organizations nationwide, BC/EFA is able to give back to those very communities that allow us to create a safety net for those in the entertainment industry through the services of The Actors’ Fund. Since its founding in 1988 through 2004, over $25 million has been distributed by BC/EFA through its National Grants Programs. The BC/EFA Grants Committee is comprised of individuals representing a diverse range of AIDS service providers and populations affected by AIDS, as well as members of the theatrical fundraising family. national grants program 13
