The Indianapolis Black Theater Company (IBTC) proudly announces the launch of its $20 INFINITE IMPACT Campaign, a bold and transformational fundraising initiative designed to secure the future of Black storytelling in Indianapolis and beyond. IBTC is calling on 5,000 champions of the arts—community members, arts lovers, advocates, and supporters of humanity—to give just $20 in support of a mission that reaches far beyond the stage.

This campaign is built on a simple truth: a small gift, given collectively, creates infinite impact.

“Your $20 is not just a donation,” says IBTC Artistic Director Tijideen Rowley. “It is an investment in the future of this company and in the future of Black stories—stories that elevate humanity by reminding us of our resilience, our brilliance, and our shared capacity for transformation. When you give, you stand with us in love, excellence, and support.”

Though still a young Non-for-profit company, IBTC is committed to producing culturally rich, emotionally resonant, and socially relevant theatre rooted in the Black experience. With the launch of the $20 INFINITE IMPACT Campaign, the organization seeks to build long-term sustainability, expand its artistic programming, deepen community engagement, and strengthen its mission-driven work.

Why $20 Matters

● $20 fuels more productions that bring stories that need to be told to life.

● $20 supports professional development for emerging Black artists and storytellers.

● $20 makes theatre accessible to youth and community members who need it most.

● $20 strengthens IBTC’s ability to plan boldly for the future—seasons ahead, festivals ahead, generations ahead.

When multiplied by 5,000 supporters, that single $20 gift becomes a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, and long-term impact! IBTC invites the Indianapolis community and supporters across the nation to be part of this historic moment. Stand with us as we elevate Black stories in order to elevate humanity. The work of IBTC is guided by its core values—Love. Excellence. Support. These values shape every production, every program, and every story shared from the stage.
