Make Queer Art Happen

Support LGBTQIA+ artists, stories and community.

Why your support matters

Queer art doesn’t just appear.
It’s created, often against barriers, often without enough support.

Your donation helps artists develop work, share stories, and connect with audiences who need to see themselves reflected.

Midsumma is a non-profit organisation. By making a donation to Midsumma you're helping to support over 1600 culture makers, producers, artists, and community members passionate about queer cultural experiences who need to tell and hear these stories and share these safe spaces.

Your support really counts. If you are in a position to support, please donate what you can and help us keep our major events free for everyone in our communities.

Matched Donation Mondays

- Start the week right with Midsumma's Monday Mates, David and Carol

Every Monday in June, donations to Midsumma will be matched dollar-for-dollar by generous Midsumma Patrons David Marantelli and Carol Nichols, up to $500 each Monday.

That means your donation can go twice as far in supporting LGBTQIA+ artists, communities and events.

Donate on a Monday in June to double your impact.

Tax note:
Midsumma Festival has a deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, which means all donations above $2 are tax-deductible. Get in before 30 June, and you can use that receipt for your 2025-2026 tax return.

Real impact

Your donation supports:

• Over 1,600 artists, producers and community members
• Year-round artist development programs
• Mentorships and pathways for emerging creatives
• Accessible and inclusive cultural experiences

Why now?

Arts funding hasn’t kept pace with demand. That means your support matters more than ever.
