Ways to Give

The Theater Offensive believes in a “Give, Share, Grow” model of fundraising

Give: Make a single or recurring financial donation, sponsor a program and/or give your time by volunteering with us.

Share: Forward our emails, opportunities and posts on social media with the people in your community who need to join the TTO Multiverse.

Grow: Show up in person for our programming and events. Solidarity in Action means supporting the work and the artists holistically.

As queer and trans people, we know that when we’re under attack, we rely on each other for support. We belong to each other, and we can build a world of liberation, beauty, and boundless possibility - together.

That’s why we’re launching the TTO SUSTAINER PROGRAM! It’s our way of saying an extra THANK YOU to you, the chosen family who keeps our life-affirming programming going strong, no matter what forces of oppression and violence come our way

Become a TTO Sustainer!

OUR SUSTAINERS MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR TTO…

  • To pay our artists and staff a living wage

  • To rent accessible venues for rehearsals, performances, and community gatherings

  • To support queer and trans youth in True Colors with stipends, hot meals, and excursions to cultural offerings

  • To foster the next generation of queer and trans artists of color in our Queer (Re)Public Residency by providing professional development, intensives at Double Edge Theater, and high-quality production resources

  • To organize our community across sectors, generations, and cultures to fight for each other in the face of attacks from the federal government
