Not everyone gets to experience the magic of Fringe—but you can help change that! For kids and families doing it tough, attending Fringe is more than just a night out. It’s a rare opportunity to laugh, dream and connect. Picture this: kids’ faces lighting up in joy, families soaking up their very first Fringe experience. Without you, it might just stay a dream.
For the average cost of one Fringe ticket (less than a round of drinks in Rundle Street, let’s be real), you can throw open the doors to the weird, the wonderful, and the OMG-did-you-see-that moments for those doing it tough. Through the Community Fund, your generosity transforms lives, spreading Fringe joy to kids and families experiencing disadvantage who’d otherwise miss out.
The arts should be for everyone. Your donation doesn’t just create memories—it sparks imaginations, inspires the next generation of creatives, and delivers laughs, gasps, and WOW moments that only art can.
So, what do you say? Make 2025 the year everyone gets to attend 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
