Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the philanthropic heart of Broadway. Your support provides meals and medication, health care and hope to those in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., affected by HIV/AIDS and other life‑threatening illnesses.
Broadway Caresequity Fights Aids Inc centers its giving on organizations serving people affected by HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses, with support that often covers meals, medication, health care, and related services. The largest recent award in the data is $7,642,500 to The Entertainment Community Fund in New York for unrestricted general support, followed by another $6,500,000 grant to the same organization in 2025. That scale shows a funder that combines very large institutional support with a broad national grant program. The foundation also backs organizations serving LGBTQ+ communities, food security needs, and emergency response. Recent grants include $262,250 to Lesbian & Gay Community Svcs Ctr Inc for unrestricted general support, $200,000 to Doctors of the World Inc, and $100,000 to American Lgbtq Museum. Across the recent-grants list, unrestricted support is common, including general operating support for partner organizations and service providers. Its work is tied to the Broadway and entertainment community, but the recipients extend well beyond that circle into health, housing, food access, and crisis support organizations. The grant record shows both large anchor gifts and a steady stream of mid-sized awards to nonprofits serving vulnerable populations.
Health and human services are the clearest through line. Broadway Caresequity Fights Aids Inc gave $200,000 to Doctors of the World Inc for unrestricted general support and $152,150 to Planned Parenthood Federation of America for unrestricted support. Food access is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $150,525 to God's Love We Deliver for unrestricted support, and $100,000 to Project Open Handatlanta for unrestricted general support in 2024. LGBTQ+ services also appear in the recent grant record. Lesbian & Gay Community Svcs Ctr Inc received $262,250 for unrestricted general support in 2025, while the Ali Forney Center received $90,000 in 2024 for unrestricted general support. The foundation also extends support into crisis and displacement-related work, including $150,000 to the International Rescue Committee and $100,000 to Project Hope Crisis in Ukraine, both listed as unrestricted grants.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s large annual total: the distribution sits at $7,653 at the 25th percentile, $12,500 at the median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile. That suggests a wide base of smaller awards alongside a few very large institutional grants. The recent record shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially The Entertainment Community Fund and Project Open Handatlanta, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-time support. Broadway Caresequity Fights Aids Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not make program-related investments. The active program descriptions and grant listings show a mix of direct national grants and broader organizational support, with many awards labeled unrestricted or general support.
