The organization\u2019s three summer drama camps (drama camp, spotlight advanced camp, and inclusive adaptive camp designed for kids who are neurodivergent and\/or have disabilities) provide local youth with the opportunity to engage in the performing arts in a supportive and specialized environment. Funding will directly support CFTC\u2019s need-based scholarship program for these camps, expanding the number of campers for whom the barrier of tuition can be removed. $4,000 of funding, for example, would allow nine prospective campers to each attend a week-long camp session, or send two children to camp for the full six-week drama camp program. There are many costs of camp (including staff stipends, training, venue rentals, and production materials) that limit funds allocated for this program. Funding would increase the number of prospective campers who may previously have been unable to participate, allowing them to experience the same benefits of camp as their peers, including development as both individuals and young artists. The youth drama camps are a critical component of the organization\u2019s annual schedule and provide children with hands-on theatre experience, as well as the ability to explore their own identities and the world around them. The experience of attending camp often has a lasting, profound impact on campers, and many previous campers have gone on to work with CFTC or other theatre organizations as actors, artists, and volunteers. The scholarship program provides access to those of lower socioeconomic status to these experiences, with long-term impacts. <\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $7,420<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Potential: Nora Roberts Foundation, Dr. Scholl Foundation, and Marietta McNeill Morgan &amp; Samuel Tate Morgan, Jr. Trust<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 06\/29\/2026-08\/08\/2026<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: City of Fairfax, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Loudon County, Arlington County, Maryland, and Washington, DC<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 8-17<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Ms<br \/>\nContact First Name: Kate<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Bonanni<br \/>\nContact Title: Grants Manager<br \/>\nContact Phone: 571-455-5457<br \/>\nContact Email: cftcgrantsmanager@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: City of Fairfax Theatre Company Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: PO Box 1013 City: Fairfax State: VA Postal Code: 22038 Main Phone: 571-208-2763 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.fairfaxcitytheatre.org\/ Employer ID Number: 26-4413560 Organization Tax Status: 501(c)(3) Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 03\/07\/2026 Requested Amount: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9887,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9886\/revisions\/9887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
