Sponsor the Performing Arts. Inspire Futures. Change Lives.
Become a Future 50 sponsor and help us give creative opportunities to kids who miss out
Your support can make all the difference!
The Future 50 campaign offers local businesses a unique opportunity to sponsor life-changing arts experiences for children who need them most. Help us give disadvantaged youth from across regional Victoria the chance to dream, discover, and develop their talent at Bendigo’s wonderful theatres. By sparking inspiration and nurturing potential, we will change young lives and create a lasting impact.
Business sponsorship opportunities
Why this project is important?
Children in regional and remote areas face substantial barriers to engaging with the arts, primarily due to geographic isolation, a lack of local resources, and financial constraints. Research shows that young people in regional areas have significantly less exposure to cultural activities compared to kids in the big city, which hinders their personal development and opportunities for creative expression. Overcoming these challenges requires targeted interventions.
Project impact
You can be the reason a young person’s life is transformed through the performing arts. With your support, we’ll open the doors of Bendigo’s vibrant performing arts scene to disadvantaged children in regional Victoria who would otherwise miss out—empowering them to explore, create, and thrive.
The project’s impact reverberates beyond young people. The long-term legacy and impact from a vibrant performing arts community includes improved social cohesion, a flourishing local economy, and enhanced well-being.
