Since 1960, Adelaide Fringe has challenged artists to be brave, inspired audiences to take risks and championed cultural diversity, inclusivity, and acceptance to ensure the cultural, social and economic force of arts in South Australia.
There'll come a time when you'll no longer be amongst the crowd of (living) Fringe-goers. Leaving a gift in Will is your chance to help fund the after party and keep the Fringe party going long after you've headed off! You can support the future of Fringe from beyond the grave, before the grave, by leaving a gift in Will to Arts Unlimited.

How It Works
There are many ways to reserve a part of an estate for a particular beneficiary. This might include defining your personal assets and property, a fixed sum (pecuniary), or the remainder of your estate after specific legacies have been disbursed (residuary), or a percentage of either the residue or your entire estate. Residuary and percentage are the most beneficial to charities like ours because they hold their value over time, resulting in a greater impact. We encourage you to discuss your intentions with your family and legal advisor.
