Launching Giving Culture

In December 2022, we launched Giving Culture®, a corporate gift voucher program that gives people the opportunity to enjoy artistic and cultural experiences across dance, film, music and theatre. Our three foundation partners in this venture, which is initially focused on activities in Sydney, are Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) and Sydney Film Festival.

Our cultural institutions, artists and performers faced incredible difficulties in 2020 and 2021 through delayed and cancelled events, venues closed and travel restricted. Giving Culture was conceived and established as an innovative way to support our local arts community and help with the long-term sustainability of the sector. We were inspired by our own experience as regular subscribers and we see this as a way to to open up cultural experiences for more people to enjoy the arts. Crucially, it’s another avenue for organisations to support our vital arts sector.

Rather than limiting organisations and voucher holders to just one field of the arts, the magic of Giving Culture is that it opens up the opportunity for experiences across a wider array of dance, film, music and theatre – and potentially more in the future!

Giving Culture gives your organisation a unique and meaningful product that you can use for staff reward and customer incentive programs – one that has a dual benefit of supporting our local not for-profit arts sector.

We’d love to hear your feedback about Giving Culture, and also to talk to you if you’d like to find out more. Please go to www.givingculture.com.au for more information on our program. You can also follow Giving Culture on Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
