Regular giving, often overlooked in favour of once-off donations, can be one of the most powerful ways to foster long-lasting impact. It’s not just about writing a cheque or making a transaction—it’s about building a foundation for change, one step at a time.
Giving regularly to Arts Unlimited, whether monthly, quarterly or annually, is not just beneficial for you, but has a profound impact on artists, venues and marginalised community groups who participate in Adelaide Fringe. Your steady support transforms lives in ways you might never witness firsthand, but the impact is real and far-reaching. You help create a festival that is truly for everyone, where no voice is left unheard, and no dream is out of reach. Here are some reasons why giving regularly is important:

Your steady support transforms lives in ways you might never witness firsthand, but the impact is real and far-reaching. You help create a festival that is truly for everyone, where no voice is left unheard, and no dream is out of reach. Here are some reasons why giving regularly is important:
1. They’re automated, so you don’t have to think about it
Regular giving can be set up as a recurring payment, which means you don’t have to remember to donate every time you want to give—donating is something you can tick off your to-do list.
2. Increase your impact over time
Donating regularly to Arts Unlimited allows you to leave a lasting impact on Adelaide Fringe. Regular donations can accumulate into a substantial contribution over time, often having a bigger impact than once-off gifts. You can make a lasting impact and leave a legacy for years to come!
3. Enhance artists’ financial stability
Regular donations ensure that Arts Unlimited can offer grants and ongoing support to artists. This stability allows artists to focus on their work without the constant pressure of financial insecurity.
4. Investing in future generations through the Schools Program
Regular donations are essential in sustaining our Schools Program, funded by the Arts Unlimited Community Fund. By giving consistently, you enable us to bring the transformative power of the arts directly to students in low-socioeconomic and remote schools. Your support provides discounted tickets for Category 1-4 schools across South Australia, helping enrich education and inspire creativity among young minds. With your regular contributions, we can nurture the next generation of artists and audiences.

5. Contributes to the sustainability of Adelaide Fringe
As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, Adelaide Fringe must continue to source funding support for artists, venues and communities to participate in Adelaide Fringe—without these, we don't have a festival! Consistent financial support helps Adelaide Fringe plan for the future, ensuring the long-term sustainability of arts and culture in South Australia. Regular donations provide more grants to participate and tickets to community groups.
6. Build a like-minded community
By contributing regularly, you’re not just supporting the arts—you’re joining a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for the arts and Adelaide Fringe. You can foster a more vibrant and connected arts scene in South Australia.
7. It’s easier on your budget
We know money is tight right now. Monthly contributions can be more affordable and easier to budget than larger one-time donations. By breaking the donation into smaller regular amounts, you can provide meaningful support without draining your bank account.
8. Take advantage of a tax benefit
All donations over $2 are tax deductible in Australia, meaning that you can reduce your taxable income. By making a regular donation of a set amount—whether monthly, quarterly or annually—you can easily keep track of your donations, making philanthropy both fulfilling and financially savvy.
9. Together, we can make Adelaide Fringe the most inclusive festival in the world
By choosing to donate regularly, you become an essential part of providing support and initiatives that remove the barriers for participants and audience to participate in Adelaide Fringe. Together, we can provide grants to make every show accessible for both performers and audiences. We can help fund the next generation of First Nations, diverse and first-timer Fringe artists. We can ensure those from regional areas and communities experiencing disadvantage, including category 1-4 schools, can become audience members and maybe even future performers. Your donations help us achieve our vision, to make Adelaide Fringe the most inclusive festival in the world.
