Support and Donate

As a not-for-profit organisation, RISING relies on support from donors, public partners and corporate organisations to help fund ambitious art and reach new audiences.

With their support, we can offer free experiences, keep our ticket prices accessible, and have a positive impact on artists, audiences, and our city.

Funding makes it possible for us to amplify voices in our community. We do this by commissioning thoughtful and challenging work, and creating pathways and infrastructure for artists to scale up their practice and mount work at a major festival.

All funding partners undergo a due diligence review of publicly available information on the prospective partner’s environmental social and governance activity to ensure they’re aligned with RISING and if applicable, the artist or program item the partnership is associated with. Any gifts received must also align with RISING’s Fundraising Policy.
