Mission

We are a community of artists, writers, musicians, designers, crew, producers, directors and fans coming together as one, promoting a good cause, sharing in a common goal. The PATH Fund, Inc.® is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting arts education. We support pre-professional training organizations with scholarship and program funding. Additionally, we support NYC’s thriving arts community by working with aspiring writers to develop new works of music and theater. Promoting the performing arts inspires and empowers. The need for pre- professional training has never been greater, as many schools are cutting back or eliminating their art programs due to budget constraints.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Raise money from events and donations to provide financial support and scholarships for aspiring actors, dancers, singers, artists and others to be able to attend programs.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic we have added a Grant Program for individual artists to receive small financial grants to help with expenses while the live entertainment community is struggling.

How we do it...
• Charity Concerts
• Corporate, Private, and Fundraising Events • Development of new works
• Mentoring promising performers
• Master Classes
• Auctions
• Grant Fundraising

We are a community of artists, writers, musicians, designers, crew, producers, directors and fans coming together as one, promoting a good cause, sharing in a common goal and having a BLAST while doing it!

In the past 15 years we have seen students who would have not had any opportunity to hone their craft and participate in these arts programs, go full steam ahead accomplishing their goals. Several of them have made their dreams come true and made it to Broadway. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic we have awarded over 135 artists grants totaling over $16,000.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 01/18/2022

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
