Women’s Circus is a deeply interconnected creative community more determined than ever to champion diversity, amplify marginalised voices, and forge a path towards a more inclusive future. But we cannot do it alone.  
 
We need you, our closest supporters, to help us in our vision of EMPOWERMENT, ACCESS and INCLUSION for our participants.  
 
Social circus has the power to transform lives. With your donation, we are able to continue programming and subsidising classes for those that need them the most. Thanks to all our supporters, we can empower people of marginalised genders to shape community and culture through circus. We cannot continue running our low cost and subsidised programs without you. We need you now.

Help us to Champion Equity and Inclusion.

Our Equity fund enables us to reduce financial barriers to participation for those facing multiple and compounding societal disadvantages. Your donation will directly go towards our ability to:

• Offer free participation in our programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
• Provide heavily subsidised programs such as Circus Mixtape (for trans and gender diverse people), POW (for people of a marginalised gender over 40) and All Access (for Disabled and neurodiverse young people).
• Support low-income and unwaged people to participate through concessions priced programs.

What impact will your donation have?

• $5000 will support all our subsidised program and our concession places for 3 months.
• $1000 will support 15 low-income earners to attend 10 social circus classes.
• $755 provides a completely free place for a First Nations person to join our 6-month New Crew program.
• $350 provides a completely free place for a First Nations teen to join any of our term classes.
• $275 provides a completely free place for a First Nations child to join any of our term classes.
• $175 provides a subsidised place for a trans and gender diverse person to join our Circus Mixtape program for one term.  
• $140 provides a subsidised place for young d/Deaf, Disabled or neurodiverse person to join our All-Access program for one term.
• $90 provides a subsidised place for a person over 40 to join our POW class for one term.  

Your support is a lifeline. We cannot contiue to run our low cost programs without you, and we are so deeply appreciative for any amount you can give.
