#GivingTuesday is an annual online day of giving and our biggest fundraising event of the year. Funds raised on #GivingTuesday will help ensure our stability through 2022 as we still press on toward a world that looks a little bit more normal.

MAKE YOUR GIFT NOW!

This year, #GivingTuesday is Nov. 30 and we have set a $35,000 goal. We’re not only still trying to make up the catastrophic losses of 2020, but also massive budget shortfalls since re-opening due to higher overhead smaller audiences.

Through your help in 2021, even amid so much strife, we offered the Tampa Bay area 7 fully-produced live professional productions, including an encore, for a total of 116 performances with a live audience. In addition, we offered 8 weeks of streamed performances for those unable to come to the theater, and dozens of online-specific offerings in our Jobsite Digital Shorts series. All of this put together allowed us to offer over 120 paid contracts to regional artists. We even raised wages along the way!

We can’t wait to see what 2022 holds. We know things will remain uncertain for a while, but with folks like you having our back we know anything is possible. We hit the ground running in Jan. with a production of Romeo & Juliet — a show that’s already filling fast, both standard curtains and the weekday field trip matinees for middle and high schools. “No one in this region “Rocks the Bard” as hard, as relevant, and as daring as Jobsite and their players” – BroadwayWorld.

Your gift today will help ensure Jobsite continues to rock for years to come!

To help get us make our goal sooner, we’ve collected $15,000 in matching funds thanks to a generous grant from Gobioff Foundation and gifts from our board. That means the first $15,000 raised from good folks like you will be matched $1 for $1, cutting our work almost in half.

We need your help more than ever to ensure we survive these challenging times intact.

How can you help? We’ll try to make it easy:
