Support
Donate
It takes a lot of bees to build a solid hive, and we never forget the donors that help us thrive.
When you make a gift to the Fringe, no matter what size, you’re telling Atlanta that original art matters- to you, to our people, and to our cultural identity.
Did you know that financial and logistical barriers prevent many artists from producing new work? During Fringe, we handle venue rentals, staffing, ticketing services and marketing for the festival as a whole. This leaves the artists free to create.
We need YOU to keep production and ticket costs low! Donate today!
Double your Impact: Your dollar does more for Atlanta Fringe 2024!
Thanks to a generous the donation from the Jenkins/Lefkowicz Family, every dollar you contribute will be matched 1:1, effectively doubling the support for our artists and the festival as a whole.
Your support will enable the 13th annual presentation the Atlanta Fringe Festival (June 3-9, 2024), featuring 28 theatrical productions performing a total of 112 times during the week in Fulton and Dekalb counties. Thanks to support from you and our growing volunteer production committee, Atlanta Fringe will also expand upon its free Kids Fringe performances and activities in partnership with the East Atlanta Kids Club, as well as our free Street Fringe offerings in Little Five Points, near our festival hub, 7Stages. As always, we will also host the annual Fringe Audio program with 24 audio productions streaming for free from our website or any popular podcast platform (Spotify, Apple, etc).
Grants
We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our 2024 grant funders! Funding for our 2024 programs was provided by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts also receives support from its partner agency the National Endowment for the Arts.
