✅ 70% Funded — $14,000 RaisedWe’ve already secured over $14,000 through early donations and grant support. However, the $20,000 goal displayed on this page does not reflect those existing contributions. This fundraiser represents the final $6,000 needed to bring The Rice Eaters to New York for its off-Broadway premiere this August. Any funds raised beyond our goal will allows us to more fully honor the time, talent, and hard work of our cast and crew. |
