Theatre Community Fund

A new fund has been launched to help support UK theatre artists and professionals during the coronavirus pandemic now theaters are closed: The Theatre Community Fund is conceived by Waller-Bridge, Olivia Colman and producer Francesca Moody. It will be dispersed and monitored by The Royal Theatrical Fund (RTF) in partnership with the Fleabag Support Fund (FSF).

This fund will be separated into two priority strands giving grants:
1. Hardship grants in partnership with the Fleabag Support Fund Distributed by the Royal Theatrical Fund.
2. Creative and innovation grants in partnership with Michael Grandage Company Futures Bursaries Distributed by MGCFutures.

Thus far £500,000 has been raised for the scheme, with an additional £500,000 in pledges from founder donations. Donors will be providing an initial lump sum and fixed, confidential percentages of their incomes over the next two years. Daniel is one of the donors.
