The foundation created by Cabaret lyricist Fred Ebb has awarded a record-setting $2.6 million to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The gift is the single largest in Broadway Cares history.
The year-end 2021 gift from The Fred Ebb Foundation, shepherded by Ebb’s nephew Mitchell S. Bernard, will kick off Broadway Cares’ continuing national grant-making in 2022. The gift was put to immediate use by providing $1.5 million to The Actors Fund.
“Fred and Mitch give us the means and ability to respond with strength and reach those struggling in our theater community as well as in communities across the nation in the hope that a brighter tomorrow belongs to us all,” said Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Executive Director Tom Viola in a statement.
Ebb, who died in 2004, declared in his will that royalties earned on his works would be distributed each year to Broadway Cares through the Fred Ebb Foundation. An initial donation of $300,000 was made in 2005, and his contributions have continued to break Broadway Cares donation records through the years.
Ebb, whose collaborations with composer John Kander include Cabaret, Chicago, The Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Rink and Woman of the Year, among others, has, through his foundation, now contributed $24.8 million to Broadway Cares since 2005.
“The pandemic has limited the foundation’s income because the theaters were dark,” said Bernard, Ebb’s nephew. “But for the same reason, this is a time of enormous need within the theater community with so many people unable for so long to work and keep insurance, even as their medical and other needs increased. That makes me especially glad to make this contribution from the Ebb Foundation.”

Mask on! Kanye West was seen out in Malibu on Monday with some business associates, but his face was specifically not on display as he sported an all-black look and hid his face from view. For the outdoor meeting with a few people ostensibly on his team, the “Off the Grid” rapper wore a full black mask covering over his entire head, keeping a low profile from the public. He paired the accessory with a large leather jacket and black jeans tucked into rainboots.
Kanye West claimed that he hadn’t been told the address for his daughter Chicago‘s fourth birthday party in a January 15 video. Despite him seeing to eventually have found where the party was happening, it definitely seems like the 44-year-old rapper wasn’t who his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 41, was expecting to see at the bash, which was thrown with Kylie Jenner as a joint party for Stormi Webster. A source close to the Kardashian family told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that Kim and Kanye’s co-parenting relationship doesn’t need to involve going to every single party together.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reportedly tried to "avoid each other" at their daughter Chicago's fourth birthday party. Rapper Kanye, 44, spent the morning lashing out as he claimed he was "not allowed to know" the location of the festivities, before later showing up for the big day, which also celebrated Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi's birthday, which is on 1 February. As the drama settled down, it appeared the producer had a grand time speaking with family members like Kris Jenner before heading back home.
Not cool. Kim Kardashian’s family is over Kanye West’s actions after he claimed he was not invited to their daughter Chicago’s birthday party over the weekend.
Their birthday has gone to the dolls! Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian went all out to host a Barbie and L.O.L. Surprise!-themed joint party for their daughters Stormi and Chicago’s 4th-birthdays.
