DONATE TO STAND WITH THE FRINGE!
In 2025, the Singapore Fringe Festival lost our title donor M1 Ltd—but not our fierce belief: to champion, commission and platform bold, original and socially engaged art that addresses issues we encounter in our everyday lives.
We launched a crowdfunding campaign which drew enthusiastic and widespread support, not only from the arts community but the general public who—like us—are hungry to see live art that is challenging, inclusive, accessible, and relevant to our times. Fringe 2026 could only take place because of YOU!
Our fundraising call for the 2027 edition of the Fringe was similarly warmly received and supported, but we fell short of our target amount of $80,000 to ensure we can run the festival. As such, we are still appealing to you to be an ally to our cause.
The Fringe has always sought to empower independent artists, commissioning over 1,000 Singapore artists, featuring their work alongside international productions. We have captivated thousands of audience members, fostering safe spaces for critical conversations about societal issues such as mental health, racial and gender discrimination and climate change. Importantly, we are an essential springboard for emerging Singapore creators, nurturing them and taking risks to commission their work.
We have also placed primacy on inclusion, with accessibility features for disabled audiences, and maintaining affordability for everyone to enjoy a night out at the theatre—because accessibility should mean pocket-friendly prices for you too!
Please help us sustain the festival. Together, we can cultivate a dynamic Singaporean arts scene that fearlessly delves into social issues we face, and propels us towards a courageous and compassionate future.
All donations will qualify for a 250% tax deduction and will also be eligible for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth's dollar-for-dollar Cultural Matching Fund.
