As a registered charity, the Traverse receives regular public subsidy, however, this usually only accounts for less than 1/3 of our income. We raise the remaining funds by relying on the support we receive from Trusts and Foundations, corporate partnerships, grants, and passionate individuals. Any profits we generate from box office income, our script shop, our bar and any of our other activities, are ploughed back into creating new writing theatre and offering opportunities to develop the next generation of theatre makers and theatre-goers.
We are extremely thankful for all those who have supported, and continue to support the Traverse Theatre and its extraordinary community of artists and audiences throughout the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the cost of living crisis. By donating to the Traverse, you support the discovery of new talent, the staging of ambitious productions, and opportunities for everyone to experience our theatre and tell their stories with us. Your donation will help us to discover and develop creativity in those who tell stories we all want - and need - to hear.
