Funding for the arts in Australia is more stretched than ever. A greater number of artists and organisations compete for a diminishing pool of Government and corporate support.

Sydney Festival is a not-for-profit organisation that receives core funding from the NSW Government and the City of Sydney. The larger portion of our funding comes from ticket sales, catering income, corporate and private support.

It is through generous philanthropic support the Festival can continue to present a bold arts program that forges new creative territories, reflects our time and celebrates Sydney’s global identity.
