Broadway Cares is Sssh.com Charity for April

LOS ANGELES—Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality website designed and maintained for women by women, continues its philanthropic donation program with the announcement that Broadway Cares is the organization voted by the Sssh.com subscribers for the month of April. Sssh.com takes time and consideration to ensure that each organization is chosen based on a commitment to excellence, accomplishment of stated goals and ratio of funds distribution (direct application to the cause vs. administrative expense). The list of potential beneficiaries includes social, medical and environmental charities that get little attention and deserve so much more. Some are large associations known for touching lives in positive ways. Others are small but cutting-edge research foundations determined to cure debilitating diseases. Still others are cultural and community outreach programs devoted to enriching lives. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised over $195 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States. BC/EFA is the major supporter of seven programs at The Actors Fund, including The HIV/AIDS Initiative, The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic, The Actors Fund Work Program, The Dancers’ Resource, The Stage Managers’ Project and three supportive housing residences. Sssh.com’s members will select each month’s beneficiary – giving women a voice in ensuring dollars go where they will do the most good. Each month’s beneficiary will be announced at the beginning of the following month. Organizations and foundations that would like to be included may email editor@sssh.com.
