$40K in 40 DAYS
Donate to help us keep the SF art scene weird and wild!

For over a decade, the SF Neo-Futurists have performed over 1,000 shows at dozens of Bay Area theaters, written over 4,000 hyper-short plays to delight over 20,000 audience members, and done it all while keeping ticket prices low and raising pay for artists and collaborators. Despite rising rents and reduced arts funding, we certainly don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

As 2025 draws to a close and government funding for the arts at all levels is getting cut, we’re asking you to help make sure that the arts scene in the Bay stays vibrant, weird, and wild. We simultaneously strive to pay artists fairly AND keep ticket prices accessible—our regular ticket prices of $14–19 haven’t changed since 2018 despite high inflation just about everywhere else. Keeping ticket prices low means that ticket income is only enough to cover rent. To pay artists, we rely on a combination of grants…and individual donations from people like you!

If we’ve ever made you laugh, cry, or go WTF (but in a good way), consider supporting the SF Neo-Futurists as we raise $40k to support our work for another year!

Plus: 🎁 Give us a gift, and we’ll give you one back! 🎁 See below for suggested donation amounts and the cute lil goodies we’re giving for each one!

  • 💸 Pay local artists in a high cost-of-living area—$225 covers one artist’s weekly stipend. We’d love to pay even more!
