Financial Support for Your Event

We want to help you cover the costs of your event. Here’s how we can assist:

Ticket Income: As a starting point, we will pay partners the net income from tickets sold for their events (i.e. minus box office fees).

Apply for Additional Funding

If you need more help, you may be eligible for a small event subsidy. To be considered, please answer the additional questions below.

Subsidy Eligibility Criteria:

Your event’s ticket income will not cover its total costs.
The event is aligned with the Imagine Festival’s vision and values.

The Imagine Festival’s Director and Board will consider all subsidy applications individually. As our funding is finite, we cannot guarantee a subsidy for every eligible event. On rare occasions exceptions may apply at the Board’s discretion and in exceptional circumstances.
