In an effort to avoid set-up and duplication of administrative costs, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has fostered and offered a home to an extraordinary collection of initiatives within the theatre community. These organizations have united the Broadway community making it a collective and powerful engine for social change and doing good.
From empowering students and fighting for equal rights for the LGBT community to bringing the power of the arts to underserved children and families, these programs work to make a difference every day. By supporting these service programs, Broadway Cares is able to more deeply connect new audiences to the important work of helping those living with HIV/AIDS.
Artists Striving to End Poverty
Artists Striving to End Poverty was conceived by Broadway musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Juilliard students to transform the lives of youth using the most powerful tool they had—their art. Today, ASTEP connects performing and visual artists with underserved youth in the U.S. and around the world to awaken their imaginations, foster critical thinking and help them break the cycle of poverty.
