Give today. Shape tomorrow

As a long-term supporter of Helpmann Academy, and Chair of their Foundation, I have been able to witness firsthand the extraordinary impact that early support can have on an artistic career. As the organisation’s new 10-year impact report shows: 35 per cent of artists indicated they may have left the industry without Helpmann Academy’s support. 

Today, I am asking you to get involved with supporting what comes next.

Thanks to the generosity of my fellow Founding Donors and Partners of the Helpmann Future Fund, alongside the support of Creative Australia, every donation made to the Fund before EOFY will be tripled.

This means every $1 you donate becomes $3 invested into the future for emerging creatives.

This is a rare opportunity to help create lasting impact, and secure long-term support for generations of creatives to come.

I also warmly encourage donations towards the Helpmann Academy’s programs and opportunities, which continue to provide vital immediate support to emerging creatives today.

Yours sincerely,

David McKee AO
Chair, Helpmann Academy Foundation Board
