The Dramatists Guild Fund provides grants to not-for-profit theatrical organizations that produce works by American writers. Grants are distributed in December. There is an application process and all submissions must be received by October 31.
The Fund also provides grants to professional dramatists experiencing personal hardships such as health-related problems or the temporary loss of income. We are also interested in helping older playwrights, composers, and lyricists who are ill, uninsured, or whose royalties have dried up. Recipients need not be Dramatists Guild members. All information is held in strict confidence.
There is an application process and all requests are confidential.
The Dramatist Guild Fund is a separate entity from The Dramatists Guild of America.
