Here to help.

Since 1958, the VABT has been providing emergency financial relief to those in our industry experiencing ill health or a medical emergency.

In response to the COVID crisis, the VABT established the COVID-19 Assistance Fund to provide immediate assistance to performing arts workers struggling as a result of the impacts the pandemic had on our industry. The VABT provided over $70,000 worth of Food Vouchers to artists and crew.

Whether onstage or off, in front of the camera or behind, the VABT assists artists, creatives and crew from across theatre, film and television.

If you are in need of assistance, please know that the VABT are here to help.
