Your contribution is vital in the truest sense of the word, “necessary to the continuation of life; life-sustaining”.

Why We Give - PDF brochure

Buddies would not and could not exist without your annual support.

Government grants make up only 25% of Buddies’ total annual revenue, the balance is earned revenue and fundraising contributions.


For example:
  • $120 brings an established queer artist for a Wednesday Workshop with our Youth program members
  • $250 costumes an actor for the run of a mainstage production
  • $500 provides accomodations for two international artists for Hysteria: A Festival of Women
  • $1000 allows our tech crew to reconfigure our mainspace for each new theatrical innovation we present

Individual donors from all parts of the community allow Buddies to continue to create groundbreaking artistic work as well as provide a cultural home for the community.

When you make a donation to Buddies, you can feel good about:

  • Supporting a company that has contributed so much to the city, the arts, the queer community and, possibly, to you personally
