Artist Relief Fund WA is a registered charity that provides critical financial assistance to entertainment professionals of all ages - including actors, musicians, creatives and crew - who experience hardship.
Whether it’s through a digital grocery card or help with covering an unexpected medical cost, we’re here to support the people who entertain our state when they need it the most.
We rely on the generosity of donors to enable our essential work to continue. If you can make a fully tax deductible donation, we will use it to continue our relief program for this generation and future ones.
This ACTOBER, your generous support of Artist Relief Fund WA will ensure Western Australia’s performing arts professionals – whether they work onstage or off, in front of the camera or behind – can continue to rely on Artist Relief Fund WA for essential support during challenging times.
