Support La MaMa

La MaMa puts its trust in its artists. We provide the space and the support that creates an environment in which the artist can experiment and take risks. For more than 60 years, we have experienced the power of art and storytelling to break barriers, foster empathy, and dismantle oppressive ways of seeing. Dedicated to the artist and all aspects of the theater, La MaMa is a vital thread in the cultural fabric of New York City. We are deeply grateful to you for your support!

Capital Campaign
Help Close the Gap!

La MaMa successfully completed the renovation of its landmark building at 74 East 4th Street in 2023. The project has been awarded The New York Landmarks Conservancy's prestigious Lucy G. Moses Award, as well as Village Preservation's coveted Regina Kellerman Award.

The project was fully funded thanks to your support, along with the support of New York City, New York State, and private foundations. However, the pandemic and related price hikes, supply chain issues, and work stoppages have caused a $3.5 million funding gap.

We need your support to raise the remaining $3.5 million. Help us close the gap today.

La MaMa Umbria International — 25th Anniversary

We just had a party for the 25th anniversary of our Directors’ Symposium. It was a wonderful multi-generational, multi-talented gathering, and the epitome of a La MaMa community. And now we look to the next 25 years of our programs, our growing scholarships to artists, our various home restorations and their hospitalities, and the incredible mix of our supporters. Together we are an unmistakable creative community.

Come join us in building the next 25 years of La MaMa Umbria. Your support and partnership make future possible.

Protect the La MaMa Archive

Help us preserve La MaMa’s treasured archive materials!
The La MaMa Archive is a one-of-a-kind resource documenting, preserving, and interpreting the legacy of nearly 160,000 artists who have made La MaMa their creative home to explore new forms of expression since 1961. Without the proper environmental controls, our entire collection is at risk of deterioration.

We must raise $51,480 to match the National Endowment for the Humanities grant to put critical climate control measures in place. Donations to the La MaMa Archive will go directly to improving our space and protecting the work of thousands of groundbreaking artists for future generations.
