Support the Fringe
Minnesota Fringe Festival is supported by the generosity of countless individual donors, foundations and corporations. Every year we share the love with hundreds of artists, while extending the community experience of Fringe with thousands of audience members.
While we’re proud to say that 75 percent of our budget comes from earned revenue—indicating resounding demand for our work—we value equally the contributed income we receive because it indicates clear support for our mission: to connect adventurous artists with adventurous audiences.

Matching gifts
Many employers match the charitable donations of their employees with a corporate contribution, allowing you to double the impact of your gift. Ask your employer if they match gifts and let us know if we can help you file the appropriate forms.
