YAH Assistance Fund
The Young Audiences of Houston Assistance Fund was established in 2007 and is used to directly sponsor, either in part or in full, requested Young Audiences of Houston programs in schools or community venues in the greatest financial need. A priority of the Fund is to support venues with limited access to the arts, where the impact of a Young Audiences of Houston program will have heightened and lasting results. Each year over 78% of our programs are subsidized or free to schools and youth service organizations, made possible through the generosity of our donors and supporters.
