You know why the Fringe needs your love and support—here’s how you can help make the Fringe happen. We welcome all gifts and you can get fabulous Fringe Benefits too!

Give as an individual
Give through your business
Give during the Festival
Give stuff

Become an Individual Donor!

Are you a lovely person who loves the Fringe enough to support it financially? Can we hug you?

You can donate in several easy ways! Make a lump sum donation or, even better, monthly donations. (Just fill out the form and fax it in, so easy!) Too space age for you? Try more traditional ways!

For bigger impact, you can go for glory and have your own day at the Festival or leave a legacy for future Festivals through planned giving.

Become a Corporate Donor!

Are you that cool kind of company that would consider becoming a partner of the Fringe? Can we shout your name from the heavens?

Become a Matching Donor for our Sweet on the Fringe campaign.

Wait! Do you want to give something over $1,500? You’re in sponsorship territory.

Support our Festival campaigns!

Flaunt Your Fringe!  Flaunt your love for the Fringe and top-up your advance ticket purchase with a donation. You’ll get a nifty button so you can flaunt your support everywhere you go!

Sweet on the Fringe Being Sweet on the Fringe couldn’t be easier! Before select performances, surrender some of that pocket change (and bills!) to Fringe alumni and volunteers—and everyone gets something sweet (not to mention fair trade and organic!) from our good friends at Camino.

Feed the Fringe When you’re not at a show, you can use your purchasing power and support the Fringe through the Feed the Fringe campaign. From Sept. 8-18, Fringe-loving restaurants will be donating $1 from featured items to the Fringe. (Ten Thousand Villages is also supporting us on Saturday September 17 as one of our Super Feed the Fringe Saturdays!)

Your Fringe for a Day! Not enough fame? Why not have a whole day dedicated just to you during the Fringe! Any individual or group of friends who donates a minimum of $1,000 to the Fringe can own a day of the Festival. We’ll proclaim your awesomeness all day long and you can bring your entourage to see some Mainstage shows.

 

Become an In-Kind Donor!

A little strapped for cash, but still want to give? We also need stuff. You can can be one of our So Kind, In-Kind Friends and meet our non-monetary needs (click here to see what those are).
