    Donors


    Every donation, regardless of size, makes a difference and is much appreciated.

     

    As an independent charitable trust with no ongoing central or local government funding, The Arts Centre relies upon donations, grants, sponsorships, bequests and goods-in-kind to keep up the momentum on the restoration project, as well as fund activities and programmes during the year.


    Our donors

    Our donors are a wide range of people from all walks of life, who love and have a connection with this beautiful space. They understand that by supporting The Arts Centre, more can be achieved together, ensuring that future generations can experience the unique heritage atmosphere and participate in arts, culture and education programmes.

    From modest occasional cheques through to monthly internet credits, lump sums from bequests, and major gifts that really make a difference to a specific project, these donations are all very gratefully received, receipted and acknowledged. Donors are our lifeblood and form a much valued and respected community of supporters who really understand The Arts Centre and the value it brings to Christchurch and beyond.

    Please help us by joining this community of like-minded generous individuals and enjoy some unique benefits and access throughout the year.
