This is a big week for philanthropist James Williams and a bigger week for area LGBTQ organizations. Following The Dallas Way’s announcement on Tuesday, Uptown Players announced today the launch of its Fund Our Future Matching Grant Challenge made possible by Williams.
Set to coincide with the Friday opening of Uptown’s season closer The Boys in the Band, the company has a goal of matching every dollar donated up to $125,000 through Sept.
21 which is North Texas Giving Day. “Supporting Uptown Players through this matching grant is not just about sustaining a theater company; it’s about investing in a beacon of creativity, diversity and inclusion in North Texas,” Craig Lynch, Executive Producer of Uptown Players said in a press release.
If every dollar is matched, that means a quarter million dollars toward the nonprofit theater company which will help provide support for the future of Uptown.
