This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

| 15,000.00 | 2 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/6669 | -- | Grant period: 11/01/2014 - 10/31/2015; goal: To engage audiences with the creation of content-rich media, capturing the work of student playwrights at the 2015 Young Voices Monologue Festival in Philadelphia. |
| 20,000.00 | 1 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5703 | -- | Grant period: 04/01/2013 - 03/31/2014; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To help students gain a deeper understanding of how to leverage theater for social change by expanding a festival, in collaboration with InterAct Theatre Company, featuring professional productions of high school students’ monologues. Philadelphia Young Playwrights and collaborating partner InterAct Theatre Company plan to expand the audience for their Young Voices Monologue Festival, a week of professionally performed monologues written by high school students from across the Philadelphia region. This public event is the culmination of a six-month process through which artists teach the craft of monologue writing to hundreds of area students, helping them express their important and under-represented hopes, fears, dreams, points of view and observations. More than 400 monologues are submitted each year, of which 15 to 20 are selected for development and production at The Adrienne in Center City. With challenge funding, the festival will double the number of participating schools to 16, including urban and suburban, private, public and parochial, and schools for juvenile offenders and special needs populations. This expansion, and accompanying tour, will significantly increase the number and diversity of monologues submitted, as well as interest in attending the spring performances.
