LMDA is largely a volunteer-based organization, with committee and board members working in collaboration to ideate new programming and initiatives.
The Grants Coordinator position was implemented in 2018, with the intention that the person serving in this role would help develop cohesive, clear, and comprehensive grant applications to support LMDA’s major programs. Previous grants secured include the National Endowment for the Arts ArtsWork grant, and funds from the Dreyfuss Foundation, among others.

Every year, to celebrate his birthday, LMDA holds a fundraiser to fund our annual Early Career Dramaturg travel grants.
We are thrilled to announce that we will be able to offer a wide-range of scholarships for our summer 2002 Conference. The scholarships will include Early Career Travel Grants, Free United Airline Tickets, Scholarships to Cover Registration Fees, and more.
