Save the Greensboro Fringe Festival
Donation protected
The mission of the Greensboro Fringe Festival is to support new and innovative performing artists by showcasing their creative works in a professional environment.
Service to the Greensboro Community- The Festival is designed to promote downtown Greensboro as an exciting center of entertainment and culture.
We have these amazing new recreational areas and facilities such as the new Lebauer Park that's right outside our window and the Tanger Performing Arts Center that's in the construction phase. These were million dollar projects. The city has all this activity surrounding the vitality and livelihood of Greensboro's citizens and we want to maintain that momentum by producing great art that everyone can support.
Celebrating 15 years- Since 2001, we've relied on the generosity of our venue owning friends and small business partners who would buy ad space in our programs or offer to donate materials and that kept our costs low in the early days.
Urgent Need- This year we are in a unique position in that we are entering this year's festival in a financial deficit. We are utilizing newer spaces and making different choices to really give the community a bigger season to celebrate our 15th year. Unfortunately, this may be our last season. We are in greater need of financial support than anticipated and we would like to involve the community in our efforts to stick around for many more seasons to come. We have plans to crowdfund, which isn't much different from our usual petition for donations at the door, but the funds earned through this campaign will go directly to lowering our abnormally high overhead fees. We'll be announcing that in the coming week and sharing more details on where and when to give through the Fringe Festival's website, facebook and twitter pages.
The campaign goal is $3,500 . A small amount when you consider the larger capital campaigns happening around town. We're very grateful for all of the support we do receive.
