We're Trying Something Big &amp; Need Your Help                               For 17 years, Nu Sass has created bold theatre supporting marginalized genders in the arts — all powered by labors of love, passion, and grit. We’ve challenged norms, nurtured new works, and created artistic homes for gender-marginalized artists who rarely see themselves prioritized on DC stages. But to sustain and grow this work, Nu Sass must evolve. For the past decade, our Artistic Director has managed Nu Sass while working full time as a nonprofit fundraising professional - more than a decade using her skills to help other organizations grow. But that stability came at a cost: we were never able to bring her full leadership to Nu Sass every day, even when we knew that doing so could transform the company. Then something unexpected happened - our Artistic Director had to take 10 months off from full time work to pursue beast cancer treatment. During those 10 months, the only work she could physically and emotionally manage was running Nu Sass — and even in that incredibly difficult season, the company grew significantly. That proved something essential: When allowed to bring her full expertise to Nu Sass, we thrive. Now we have the rare opportunity to bring our Artistic Director to Nu Sass full time. We are attempting to raise $85,000 to fund Nu Sass’s first full-time W-2 Artistic/Executive Director position — with full healthcare coverage. We've raised over $30,000 in gifts and pledges so far, and we need your help to cross the finish line. This amount covers: - $65,000 for a sustainable salary - $10,000 for an annual healthcare premium - $3,000 for a 5% retirement contribution - $7,000 for all employer taxes and insurance required by law This is the real cost of ethical, sustainable leadership in DC. Your investment ensures: - Fair wages and healthcare for a cancer survivor - Expanded paid opportunities for queer and feminist artists - Long-term planning and season development - Stronger fundraising and community partnerships - Continued growth of a company that has already proven what it can become when leadership has the capacity to lead If Nu Sass has ever made you laugh, cry, feel powerful, feel seen — this is your moment to invest in its future.
