The mission of the Charlie Lovett Fund for Elementary Drama is to support production-based theatre arts programs at the elementary school level. This is accomplished through annual donations from Charlie Lovett and matching contributions by The Lovett Foundation, aimed at nurturing young students' involvement in drama.
The Charlie Lovett Fund for Elementary Drama provides financial support for theatre arts programs in elementary schools, emphasizing the importance of drama in early education. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis starting in August each school year, with decisions made as swiftly as possible to benefit applicants. The funding cycle includes two main periods – fall and spring – to accommodate different program schedules. Applicants whose requests cannot be fulfilled due to depleted funds are encouraged to reapply the following year. The average grant awarded is $300, underscoring the fund's commitment to accessible and sustainable support for budding theatre programs.
