By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes across the United States. Since its founding in 1988, BC/EFA has raised over $140 million dollars for critically needed services for people with AIDS and other serious illnesses.
BC/EFA is the major supporter of six programs at The Actors Fund - including
The AIDS Initiative, The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, two supportive housing residences and the Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic at The Aurora in NYC –
and awards grants to over 400 AIDS and family service organizations yearly.
Programs of BC/EFA include Classical Action, which draws on the generosity of the classical and jazz performing arts communities to raise funds for AIDS services and Dancers Responding to AIDS (DRA), the dance world’s ongoing response to the AIDS crisis. Every item purchased contributes to these programs and this vital organization.
