Help a young actor fund her training at The Actors' Program

Auckland

Kia ora koutou! My name is Grace Brannigan, and I am an actor and performer in Tāmaki Makaurau. For the past few years, I have been honing my craft and working as much as possible in the hopes of attending the highly competitive one-year acting course, The Actors' Program.

The Actors' Program (or TAP) is a well-respected, industry-related, intensive course with only 16 spots available each year, and a rate of over 80% of graduates finding work in the industry. I'm extremely grateful to have been accepted into the 2026 cohort of actors, and I'm excited to continue my training this year.

However, as TAP is an independent organisation (not a NZQA course), I am not eligible to receive a student loan or allowance to help me pay for the program.

The total course fees for this year of training are $17,000.

I am creating this page to seek help in covering this cost.

All money raised from this page will go towards paying these fees, even if the full amount is not raised.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
