Overview of the Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund (PAEPF)

The Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund (PAEPF) was created to support small nonprofit performing arts organizations with revenues under $2 million, in hiring and retaining employees. The Fund reimburses a portion of payroll costs on a quarterly basis. The program’s goal is to restore resilience and build sustain?ability in the sector through an investment in creative jobs.
