Support

Heroes Sought

Pinchgut aims to be financed primarily by box-office, sponsorship and donations. Our productions so far have been underwritten by a group of music lovers who have agreed to help us get established. In 2010 we received a grant of $15,000 from the Arts NSW and $40,000 from The Australia Council for the Arts.

But after box office our biggest source of money has been donations from supporters: in 2000 donations totalled over $100,000. We are very proud of that. These are people who believe in what we are doing and want us to be able to continue.

Can you help?

We call our financial supporters "Heroes of Pinchgut". Are you able to join them?

Donations are tax deductible and will be acknowledged in programmes and our other publications. Under the rules for tax deductibility, we cannot promise any other benefits, though we want to make all our Heroes part of the Pinchgut family, so we will find ways of thanking you.

If you would like to talk to us about this, please phone Anna Cerneaz on 02 9389 8117 or Liz Nielsen on 02 9908 1962. We accept donations by credit card, paypal or cheques.  Payable to: Pinchgut Opera Public Fund, PO Box 309, Edgecliff NSW 2027

If you wish, you can donate by PayPal. You will need to be registered with PayPal and it is a simple and safe way of making payments.

Receipts for tax purposes will be issued.

Pinchgut Opera Limited has a Public Fund on the Register of Cultural Organisations kept under the Income Tax Assessment Act (Australia). Accordingly, donations over AU$2 are tax deductible.

Sponsors

Attractive, flexible and businesslike arrangements are available to companies interested in sponsoring Pinchgut Opera 2010 production of Haydn's L'anima del filosofo (Orpheus & Eurydice).

There will only be a small number of sponsors, so visibility and prominence will be guaranteed. Sponsorship can include opportunities for client entertaining for which the City Recital Hall has excellent facilities. To discuss sponsorship, email Liz Nielsen on liz@pinchgutopera.com.au or Anna Cerneaz on anna@pinchgutopera.com.au or phone Liz on 02 9908 1962 or Anna or 02 9389 8117.
