<div><div> Dear Friends,  </div><div>The cultural sector in New York is currently facing a serious crisis, and SoHo Shakespeare Company is now one of the many organizations that have lost critical funding.  We recently received the difficult and unexpected news that a private donation of $35,000—a foundational piece of our 2025 season—has been regrettably withdrawn. A long-time supporter has unfortunately encountered unforeseen financial hardships, as many of us have, making it impossible for them to fulfill their pledge at this time.  This sudden loss places a tremendous strain on us. Like so many other  non-profits across the nation, we operate on thin margins, and this single withdrawal means we must now ask for your direct support.  Since founding this organization in 2018, we have successfully increased  artist compensation by nearly 700%, stepping closer to our goal of becoming a NYC cultural institution. Losing this donation risks stalling that critical progress.  As we near the end of 2025, we must turn you, the supporters who make this all possible. Any contribution made today—be it $5 or $5,000—will help bridge this gap and ensure our lights stay on so we can continue creating the vibrant, accessible work you’ve come to expect and love.  Please help us secure our future by making a donation today. Your generosity will make a difference.  Thank you for being part of our SoHo Shakes family. We are confident that this is a challenge we can overcome together.</div><div> Sincerely, <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1761814719/wysiwyg/jx0x2hel4aeqbo5i0j9b.png"
