Giving Philosophy

The Foundation aims to foster and develop long-term educational activities and cultural exchange through its festival program. It promotes, maintains, improves, and advances education in world cultures, exciting and informing audiences across a multicultural society. A key focus is to develop links with Indigenous artists and their communities, particularly those disadvantaged by remoteness. The festival also serves as a forum for urgent and inspiring conversations on sustainability and the environment through its 'The Planet Talks' program, and provides community access tickets to disadvantaged groups.

Notable Grants

Over 300 tickets provided annually to a wide range of community groups and disadvantaged members of the community
