Description
​Why do we need your help?



Support our Staff


Our former Artistic & Executive Director, Vivian Deangelo, dedicated 40 years to strengthening our organization and securing our residence at the 64 E 4th St Cultural Center. She emphasized the importance of having a team of artists to ensure our survival, as it cannot be achieved by one person alone.

Our team consists of both full-time and part-time artists, education, and administrative professionals. We are committed to promoting Latin American and Hispanic culture, providing a platform for innovative artists, and making arts and culture more accessible to our local communities.

Unfortunately, most grants do not allow us to maintain a stable workforce. Therefore, we heavily rely on generous support from individual donors like you.

Your contribution will enable us to:

  • Pay dignified salaries and provide benefits for our staff.

  • Expand our team and enhance our efficiency by hiring a full-time Development Director and an Office Manager.

  • Strengthen our overall organization to ensure its survival.


Increase Salaries for Artists


We strive to have a strong presence in the art world and contribute to the economy. Organizations like ours are crucial for artists to express different viewpoints and ideas, and they provide the necessary support for artists to create, develop, and showcase their work.

Unfortunately, the current economic situation is disproportionately affecting our artists, who are facing difficulties in finding and affording housing, transportation, and other basic necessities. We work tirelessly to ensure that our artists receive fair compensation. However, ticket prices alone are not enough to achieve this goal. Individual donations, such as yours, play a vital role in supporting artists and safeguarding the arts in New York City.



Expand our Programs


Our organization works tirelessly to create strong and diverse programming. We strive to offer new perspectives to our local communities and have traveled to schools and senior centers all over New York State.

For more than 20 years, Cimientos has presented new works by playwrights from across the globe, even during the pandemic. Our inclusivity fiestas have become a symbol of equality, uplifting traditionally underrepresented voices, such as early career artists, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. Moreover, in 2023, we reintroduced PAM: Performing Arts Marathon after a decade-long hiatus. Finally, our recent Mainstage and Workshop productions have won over eight HOLA, ATI, and TALÍA Awards!

Your generous gift will help us:

  • Produce more Mainstage shows per season, enabling us to honor our bilingual commitment to presenting a play in English and a play in Spanish every year.

  • Offer more artists the opportunity to workshop new materials and present them for longer runs.

  • Lower ticket prices and create more community initiatives, which will bridge the access gap to quality and culturally relevant performing arts programs.
