Brava is Home
We’re launching a bold, time-sensitive campaign to raise $500,000 in 90 days to keep our stage alive for future generations of artists and audiences.
$2,000 raised of $500,000
Contributions will ensure that Brava remains a home for women, people of color, LGBTQIA artists, and the Mission community, while setting the foundation for long-term transformation.
The Medea Project’s Maze: What Do You Remember (2025)
Despite the national climate of rising costs, decreased arts funding, and closures of peer organizations, Brava continues to open its doors to artists and audiences who rely on its intergenerational and culturally rooted programming. In just the past year, Brava has presented The Medea Project’s Maze: What Do You Remember?, Ballet Nepantla’s Nacimiento, La Mezcla’s 10-Year Anniversary, and Loco Bloco’s Día de los Muertos celebration.
Campaign Goals
$300,000 toward immediate organizational stability, including offsetting unexpected building costs, sustaining Brava’s Artist in Residence and Mission Academy of Performing Arts programs, and keeping its community-owned theater open.
$200,000 toward supporting Brava’s organizational transformation and leadership transition, providing stability as the theater prepares to welcome a new permanent Director.
Funds beyond $500,000 will seed Brava’s upcoming Capital Campaign to preserve and upgrade its historic 100-year-old Legacy Theater.
