• Midsumma Festival has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, which means all donations above $2 are tax deductible.
• Delivering the festival takes year-round planning and some events require even longer to plan.
• Midsumma needs to raise 70% of our budget each year through private donations and business sponsorship.
• Your donation helps keep major events like Midsumma Carnival FREE for everyone, and your support can make a huge difference
• 100% of funds raised go directly to artist and community development and access initiatives so you can be assured every dollar you give makes a difference.

Midsumma relies on your generous donations to produce your three-week festival each year, as well as year-round community cultural development work, including mentorships, and work with some of our most marginalised diverse intersectional communities. We give voice to those who might otherwise not be seen or heard. We celebrate the vibrant and diverse LGBTQIA+ arts and cultures.
