Ways to Give
Regular annual giving from individuals is the main financial foundation on which Australian Contemporary Opera Company’s artistic excellence is built, enabling ACOCO to sustain our creative and community relationships as we navigate a changing performing arts landscape.
Charitable giving plays a vital role in helping ACOCO bring the very best talent to our stage, by supplying support that enables ACOCO to cover performance costs and fees for our artists and creative teams.
Donors also enjoy behind-the-scenes access and benefits like attending rehearsals, meet & greets, program recognition, post-production events, and more.
