Description
This grant provides targeted support to ensembles that have previously received a National Theater Project (NTP) Creation & Touring Grant. Its purpose is to help these ensembles sustain organizational momentum and build capacity following the completion of NTP-subsidized touring. Funding can be used for a variety of post-touring activities, including maintaining key administrative roles, leveraging new networks, professional development, strategic planning, organizational strengthening, and planning for future touring or archiving of NTP-funded work. The grant is designed to foster long-term sustainability and help ensembles capitalize on opportunities and connections developed during their touring period.
