THE 2025 CSAW
FUNDRAISER IS HERE!
Can you help us raise $30,000 by December 1st to provide another year of grant programs and resources for BIPOC Circus Artists?
Performance in the circus world can build connections, tell stories, create social change, and envision new possibilities, allowing people from all over the world to connect through a shared language. Everyone deserves access to this, not just a privileged few.
Since 2020, CSAW (Connecting Circus Students Around the World) has been working to change the system—amplifying underrepresented voices, breaking down barriers, and putting real resources in the hands of BIPOC circus artists.To date, we’ve awarded over $90,000 in direct support to 50+ BIPOC circus artists.
But demand is growing, and these programs only exist because of people like you giving. Thank you to everyone who has made our work possible in the past, we are only able to continue doing our work with support from you!
