Our friends of the Fringe Glenn van Zutphen and Neil Humphreys invited Executive Producer Melissa Lim onto their Saturday morning sit-down on MONEY FM 89.3.

Missed the live broadcast? You can now listen to it at https://bit.ly/SgFringeMoneyFM

Melissa shares why the Fringe matters—its commitment to emerging creators, accessibility for disabled audiences, and its belief that art must remain affordable and inclusive. She also explains what’s at stake if the festival disappears, especially in a year when even major theatre companies are struggling to survive.

1 day left - we're now at 35% of our fundraising goal 💪 💪 💪

Our goal: $80,000 by 31 March 2026.

We are at 32% of our fundraising goal with 5 days left 😥😥😥

So many of you were blown away the representation of hidden disabilities in Invisible by ARTDIS & The Necessary Stage, and we wanted to share some of the audience feedback that really touched us. To know that our work resonates with the communities we have been working with is especially meaningful.

If you want to see more socially-engaged and accessible works like Invisible, please donate to Stand with the Fringe by 31 March 2026. Your donation enables us to keep commissioning artists to create meaningful works like this.

Just one week left, but we're only at 32% of our fundraising goal...

We know you loved seeing the representation in the Fringe. It takes a lot to program accessible and inclusive art on a shoestring budget, yet keeping it affordable so that you don't feel priced out of going to the theatre.

We need your help so that we can continue commissioning bold, young creative voices.

Please donate to Stand with the Fringe.

We are aiming to raise $80,000 by 31 March 2026.

Your donations above $10 will not only qualify for a 250% tax deduction (!!!), and will also be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar matching by the Tote Board’s Enhanced Fundraising Programme.

If you're not in a place to give today, you can still help us by sharing this post. Every dollar that gets donated helps us keep the Fringe alive to commission more local artists!

Thank you to The Straits Times Life for covering our tough fundraising journey so far. We've been moved by your many messages of support and donations.

We're now at 27% of our fundraising goal 💪 💪 💪

The Straits Times describes the Fringe as such,
"Singapore’s version under TNS’ curation has been more explicitly socially minded, fostering spaces for discussions about mental health, racial and gender discrimination, climate change, migrant worker rights and inequality."

Why does your support for the Fringe matter? Our Executive Producer Melissa Lim shares,

Ms Lim says: “It is the only festival solely dedicated to socially engaged art relevant to the lived experiences of people in Singapore. We are also one of the most inclusive and accessible festivals around, with accessibility features for disabled audiences not just at the performances but throughout the entire festival experience.”
