We don't do it alone.

Bangarra is continually strengthened by the generosity of those who believe in our purpose and choose to walk alongside us through financial support.  

Under the artistic direction of Frances Rings, our vision is anchored in the core pillars of People, Place and Story.  

People are at the heart of our work; Place grounds and connects us; and Story carries the power to heal, transform, and inspire change. Together, they shape a legacy that is bold, enduring, and deeply rooted in culture. 

This impact would not be possible without our patrons, whose generous support empowers Bangarra to create lasting change - on stage, in communities across Australia, and around the world.  We are profoundly grateful for their generous support. 

In consultation with Wiradjuri Elders, and in recognition of the cultural significance of language, our giving levels draw from the word Bangarra - a Wiradjuri word meaning to make fire. This naming honours our commitment to the continuation and celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. 

By supporting Bangarra, you are helping to ensure that the voices, stories, and cultural knowledge of First Nations peoples continue to be shared with integrity, strength, and pride.
