As Texas has had to shut down in the past two months due to the novel coronavirus, many of those in its iconic arts and culture industries have taken a big economic hit. Cinemas, venues, theaters, and bookshops have generally been closed, huge annual festivals have been canceled, and the vast majority of film and theater productions have been halted. There are countless important causes to support right now, but this #GivingTuesday, fundraisers for artists and cultural institutions should be on your list. After all this is over, we want our favorites to still be around.
#GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving set up to support those affected by COVID-19. Today, communities and nonprofits statewide are taking part. You can explore databases for the regions surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and anywhere else to find cultural organizations in need. Or consider our curated list of causes below.
