About Theatre Development Fund
Theatre Development Fund, Inc. (鈥淭DF鈥�), is dedicated to sharing the power of the performing arts with everyone. As one of the only arts service organizations whose membership is the audience, our mission is to remove the financial, physical, and invisible barriers to access to the performing arts. Our vision will be complete when EVERY New Yorker (and visitor to NYC) feels ownership of and belonging in the live performing arts.
With an annual operating budget of $19,000,000, TDF fulfills its mission through two key areas of work:
1. TDF鈥檚 mission-driven ticketing programs provide broad access to audiences for whom price is a barrier to entry. Through the iconic TKTS Booths in Times Square and Lincoln Center, and through TDF鈥檚 membership programs, the organization serves more than 1M audience members per year.
2. TDF鈥檚 Programs remove financial, physical, and invisible barriers to attendance for the communities that need it most. These Programs serve close to 50,000 audience members annually, particularly those impacted by hearing loss and deafness, vision loss and blindness, mobility loss, or by intellectual and developmental disabilities. TDF also serves 10,000 high school students every year and more than 150 community organizations, including veterans, seniors, and other underserved communities. Our methodology includes both access to discount/free tickets, and the curation of an environment at the theatre where audiences can feel comfortable, safe, and experience the show on their own terms.
