Help us secure Melbourne’s home of theatre for generations to come.
Established in 2016, Melbourne Theatre Company’s General Endowment Fund (GEF) ensures financial security for generations to come, enabling us to respond to unfolding history, to write for the moment and remain a key part of the state’s cultural offering for all Australians.
An endowment fund is vital to ensuring continuity, constancy and permanence of a major arts organisation. Melbourne Theatre Company's GEF will be a source of lasting support – building a bridge from the present to the future for artist and audiences.
Your gift enables us to continue this legacy by creating and developing new landmark works for the Australian canon and bringing the best theatre from around the world to Melbourne audiences.
