Become a Wakakirri Supporter

A donation to the Wakakirri Story-Dance Association Inc’s Inspiration Fund of just $35 gives one student the opportunity to participate in the Wakakirri Challenge. This opportunity will boost their confidence, develop their skills and foster a lifelong love of the creative arts.

Our recurring supporters are especially important to us. Your generous donations contribute to funding a Best Start Program in a school, which links local performing arts teachers with schools looking to further develop their Arts Education capabilities.

100% of your donation will be used to directly support student participation.

Transparent Reporting

In 2019, our Inspiration Fund (formerly the Wakakirri Donation Program) assisted 25 schools across Australia. Schools were given a subsidy of between $500 and $1500 to offset the cost of participating in Wakakirri or bringing one of our Artist In Residence Facilitators into their classrooms to support teachers and students as they develop their Story-Dance. More than 1300 students benefited from this program thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
