Philanthropy
Perth Festival continues to weave its way through every corner of the Western Australian community, creating moments that inspire and connect people, sharing extraordinary stories, and delivering unforgettable experiences.
By making a tax-deductible donation to Perth Festival you can be part of this immense legacy of world-class artistic experiences, enhancing the value of Western Australian life.
Every gift, no matter the amount, helps build our creative and vibrant Festival and enriches the lives of Western Australians. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
You can choose how much you’d like to contribute – but we’ve created some levels you might want to consider.
Donate to our annual giving program and your contribution will go to assisting one of four areas that guide our annual Festival program. For over 70 years these four constant principles have defined Perth Festival.
Donate to our Annual Giving program and join the Festival family.
Areas your donation can make an impact
World-class programming
Commissioning and presenting distinctive arts experiences from around the nation and the globe is synonymous with Perth Festival. We tell extraordinary stories across theatre, dance, exhibitions, literature, music, film and special events, delivering unforgettable experiences for our audiences and artists.
Your support helps bring incredible world-class art to Perth at affordable prices for audiences.
Access
We want as many people as possible to engage with Perth Festival and we’re constantly looking for ways to reduce barriers to access. Initiatives like Auslan interpreted events and audio described performances, Creative Learning Programs, Community Partners Programs and free access events are just some of the ways we remain a Festival for all people.
With your help we can continue to break down further barriers to access, sharing art with as many people as possible.
Sector Development
Perth Festival provides annual artistic opportunities, skills development and jobs for hundreds of people. Your support will help us to promote and embolden the entire Western Australian arts sector and expand these annual programs and opportunities for artists.
Local Stories
Grounded on Noongar Boodjar, Perth Festival is uniquely placed to celebrate one of the oldest living cultures in the world alongside contemporary stories of this place.
From ancient wisdoms to contemporary dreamings across all artforms, the Festival continues to help showcase local heroes who tell local stories with universal appeal. With your support, we can continue to share events like Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak and Galup and discover the next Tim Minchin or Linda May Han Oh.
Become a champion of our place, our stories and our local artists.
Every gift, no matter the amount, helps to create magical artistic moments and connect you with unforgettable experiences at the heart of Perth Festival.
