New York, NY – December 3, 2024 – The Stella Adler Studio of Acting, celebrating 75 years of transformative work in the arts, announces a special end-of-year campaign: 75 for 75 – A 75th Anniversary Appeal.
Thanks to the generous leadership of long-time supporter and alumnus Fakeer, along with the support of alumnus Manish Baliga and esteemed board member/alumnus Welland Scripps, every donation to this campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000. The generosity of these three alumni ensures that each contribution will have double the impact, helping the studio reach our ultimate goal of $20,000.
Nonprofit arts organizations across the country are navigating an increasingly complex economic landscape, and while the Stella Adler Studio is not immune to these challenges, we remain unwavering in our commitment to adapt, grow, and stay true to our mission. For 75 years, we’ve met adversity with creativity, determination, and an unshakable belief in the transformative power of art, ensuring that our work and impact endure. Today we stand, 75-years strong, in a permanent state of resilience focused on democratizing theater for all New Yorkers.
Your gift to the 75 for 75 campaign helps us sustain this resilience and ensures that the Studio continues to thrive. The money we raise supports:
- Students: Providing scholarships that make world-class arts training accessible to all.
- Faculty and Staff: Help us build a thriving creative community by investing in the people who make it happen.
- Facilities: Maintaining and enhancing the spaces where artistry and imagination flourish.
- Programs: Supporting outreach efforts like Outside/In, Adler Youth, and free acting workshops that bring the arts to underserved communities.
