For 33 years, Midsumma has been able to provide the community with a range of programs and events throughout our three-week festival and all year round. There are significant hard costs to produce events, our mentorship programs, our program guide, the website and to keep these events and programs as accessible as possible. COVID-19 has had a revenue impact for us at an estimated $760k for 2020/2021 so any assistance/support we can receive is gratefully received as we still move forward with planning for an exciting and important Midsumma Festival in 2021 as well as our annual mentorship programs. Your private and company contributions are vital to us, so we can continue to bring you this vivacious world-class festival. Your tax-deductible support will help our diverse communities to share their stories, have a voice, and experience all that Midsumma has to offer. Your donation also goes a long way to help us empower others. You will directly support our access and development programs. This means your donations directly help new and emerging artists develop and showcase their work and access and engagement programs to support members of the LGBTQIA+ communities who are further challenged by disability or other types of cultural discrimination. Help all of our communities’ voices to be heard, and their stories told. Your donations ensure that your Midsumma exists well into the future. It will directly support new and emerging artists and cultural event producers who wish to showcase their work, members of the LGBTQIA+ communities who are further disadvantaged by intersectional identities such as queer people with disability and/or those who face other types of cultural discrimination as well as being LGBTQIA+.
