Not everyone gets to feel the magic of Fringe—but you can help change that.
For kids, families and communities doing it tough, a Fringe show is more than a night out. It’s joy. It’s connection. It’s that wide-eyed “WOW!” moment they’ll never forget.
For $35 (the average cost of a Fringe ticket) you can send someone who’d otherwise miss out to Fringe. Your support doesn’t just buy a ticket—it sparks imaginations, inspires the next generation of creatives, and creates real moments of wonder.
Let’s make 2026 the year more South Australians get to experience Fringe. Because Fringe isn’t just better when it’s shared, it’s utterly unforgettable!

Real Stories, Real Impact
When you pay it forward, you’re not just donating money or a ticket—you’re creating memories, sparking inspiration, and sharing the magic of Fringe. Here’s what past Community Fund recipients had to say about their experience:
“The generosity of Fringe allowed some of our young people to experience the arts in a new way which they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford. It’s important that our young people get to experience the diversity of what SA has to offer and being part of the best festival in the world was a privilege.” - David Wark, Operation Flinders
“We are so grateful for the opportunity to provide our young people and their families with tickets through the Adelaide Fringe Community Fund. Due to the impact of cancer in their lives, access to positive experiences like these are limited. Thank you for providing the gift of time together to have fun, make memories, and just be a teenager again.” - Lex, Canteen Australia
“When we were given the Fringe tickets my son shot his hands up in the air in such delight and with such excitement in his eyes, I couldn’t help but join in. I haven’t seen a happy reaction like that for such a long time. Thank you so much.” - Walter, Lutheran Care - Toward Home Emergency Accommodation client
“We really enjoyed the Fringe, it was an amazing experience to be part of. We thought the shows were very enjoyable and we wouldn’t have been able to go without the grant from the equity ticket program, so a big thank you for that and hopefully we can go again next year.” - Sarah and Stella, students at Bordertown Primary School
