Support the 2025 Dunedin Fringe Festival!

Our Boosted campaign came to a close last night, and thanks to your incredible generosity we reached 109% of our goal! 🎉

The Dunedin Fringe team absolutely does not take your support for granted, and we're so, SO grateful for your support, kindness and enthusiasm for the work Fringe does in Ōtepoti and beyond. We also know times are super tough out there and dollars are precious, so we're even MORE blown away by your support given that.

The team will do all we can to honour the trust you put in us. We're super excited to celebrate our 25th birthday with you, our artists, our collaborators and our audiences next year (13-23 March) as we come together to celebrate 25 years of creativity, community and connection 💜

Thank you for believing in the power of Fringe! 

Ruth, Kate, Katrina & the Dunedin Fringe team

You've given us the best 25th birthday present we could possibly have asked for—support from our incredible community! 🎂

We're so moved and humbled by the amazing support we've received during this Boosted campaign and, of course, the last 25 years. Dunedin Fringe couldn't have made it to this milestone without the extraordinary support of you -- our generous donors -- and our many beautiful artists, audiences, staff, contractors, sponsors, funders and friends. It's been a true team effort to get to this point, and we'll do everything we can to honour the shoulders upon which we stand as we enter our 25th birthday year.

Thank you so, so much -- from the bottom of our hearts -- for believing in the power of Dunedin Fringe and its role in supporting creativity, community and connection in Ōtepoti and beyond. We appreciate you! 🥰

It's Friday morning, we've got 6 days left on our campaign, and we've jumped up to 86% of our goal. YAY! 🎉

We're so humbled and overwhelmed by the incredible support, thank you so, so much to everyone who has donated so far and/or shared the campaign amongst your networks.

Knowing Dunedin Fringe has so many passionate supporters out there in the community warms our hearts and gives us energy to keep doing our mahi. Kā mihi nui and much aroha from us to you all! 🥰

A very BIG thank you to all the generous people who’ve donated to Dunedin Fringe's Boosted campaign so far, you're AMAZING and we appreciate you so much 🥰 You're supporting artists to create vibrant, affordable and inclusive experiences for audiences to enjoy … which is what our communities need!

We only have 10 more days to reach our goal -- it's all or nothing! Now we need your help to spread the word and encourage others to give.

If you could take a minute to share, like and comment on any of our Boosted campaign social media posts – Instagram and Facebook – that’d be super helpful.  There’s some great messages from our Fringe alumni to share, and more coming soon 🌟

We’re beyond grateful for your support, and we know it means A LOT to our Fringe artists and contractors too! 💜
