Fundraising

Slipstream Circus is an incorporated association, and also a charity.

Whilst the money made from class fees and other income generating opportunities, like workshops and performances, goes a long way to covering our running costs, there is still a substantial gap, and we fill that with various fundraising activities.

This ranges from grassroots fundraising like BBQs to grants from various sources, like Arts Tasmania and the Tasmanian Community Fund.

We are looking at sharing the journey we take, in the hopes of enlisting even more help from our wider community to help us to achieve our goals.

The biggest part of our spend is on people, and that is where we want to continue our focus for fundraising goals, with the hope of engaging more awesome people to help with and contribute to the amazing work we already do.

The 10x Fundraiser Idea

Our Artistic Director and Circus Manager, Mark Douglass, is always looking for fun and interesting ways to engage our community, and came up with the idea of the 10x Fundraiser. The idea is that every time we reach a goal, we set the next goal of 10x the previous one.

So, our goals will be $1, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000, etc.

This page will keep track our progress with our fundraising goals.
