Scholarships
Opening all the doors
We’re here to change the face(s) of comedy. So we want to make extra sure that people from underrepresented backgrounds, and under-funded bank accounts, have access to what we do. So, once per quarter we dedicate a portion of our membership spots to funny fellowships. These folks get 50% off ($249.99) one year of membership in GOLD ($499.99), with full access to everything included. (We can’t guarantee that every interested applicant will receive a fellowship, but anyone can apply again the following quarter.) Fellowships are typically awarded and announced on the first day of every quarter.
Our need- and demographic-aware scholarships are open to:
- Women
- People of color
- LGBTQ+ individuals
- Folks without the means to afford full GOLD membership
- Folks with disabilities
- Veterans
Be part of the fun(d)!
So many of you have asked how you can help out GOLD. You are so nice! Here is how. You can make a one-time or quarterly/annual contribution to our Fellowship Fun(d). As we’re not a 501(c)(3) organization, your contribution isn’t tax-deductible, but you will directly make a difference in someone’s life and future. If you’re interested, just click here to offer your support. (If you’d like different options or have questions, please email lynn@goldcomedy.com.) Thank you for helping make sure the widest possible range of talented creators get the access they need to succeed in comedy and nail their showbiz goals!
Thank you!
These folks are making it possible for more GOLDies to shine!
