GRASSROOTS COMEDY

Mission Statement

Our goal is to use comedy to support local nonprofits and national nonprofit affiliates, with proceeds and publicity directed towards assisting them to fulfill their missions while building a community around the convergence of comedy and civic engagement. We aim to accomplish this in the following ways: Producing a podcast that serves to educate our audience on important issues through comedic engagement, while also serving as a way for our nonprofit partners to expand their audience. Educating our audience on important issues and the local actors working to address them (through our shows and digital content). Connecting our local partners with potential advocates, allies, and volunteers. Building relationships between local organizations working across the nonprofit sector. Hosting stand-up comedy fundraisers benefiting a local nonprofit partner each month.
