Support Us

World Fringe is a Not-For-Profit organisation supporting Fringe Festivals to provide a valuable & meaningful space for artists to express & perform. 

Since we began in 2007, World Fringe has achieved a huge amount!

We have advocated for and enhanced the exposure, importance, and connectivity of Fringe Festivals globally with an ambition to re-brand Fringe as the incredible incubators of talent and innovation, we know you to be. People now see Fringe Festivals as leaders in new practice, and we continue to grow Fringe festivals into a festival sector in its ownr There is a well-connected support network at your fingertips – a great big Fringe Family made up of 300 Fringe Festivals across the globe.

World Fringe relies on financial support from the Fringe sector to continue the work we do. We want to thank all the Fringe Festivals and individuals who support us.

All Fringe Festivals are members of the global Fringe Family. Donations keep World Fringe running, and give us the ability to continue to support and connect all the Fringe Festivals across the world, as well as give guidance to new Fringe Festivals starting up.
