Support Adelaide Fringe

Adelaide Fringe Foundation raises money to remove barriers, create possibilities, and ignite the magic of Fringe for everyone.

We believe the arts belong to all, not just those who can afford to make it or see it. We believe in a future where every barrier is removed, so every artist can create and every person can participate. We believe in the long-term sustainability of the arts in South Australia, keeping Fringe accessible and alive for generations to come.

Every donation, big or small, fuels creativity, connection, and joy.

Real Stories, Real Impact

"Receiving support from the Fringe Fund made a tangible difference to the Dupang Festival's season. It allowed us to properly resource our programming, support artists, and ensure the festival remained accessible and community-driven. The Fringe Fund didn't just support our event – it helped sustain a growing cultural platform grounded in connection, storytelling, and community pride."

Dupang Festival 2026, Fringe Fund Recipient

“Being a Fringe Fund recipient genuinely made my season possible. As a 20-year-old uni student juggling study, work, and creating a show, it often felt like there just weren't enough hours to make everything happen. The support from the Fringe Fund took a huge weight off my shoulders and allowed me to foucs on actually making the show the best it could be, rather than constantly stressing about costs. More than anything, it made me feel believed in as a young artist, which is so powerful at this stage.”
