Performing Arts Community Trust (PACT)

Performing Arts Community Trust (PACT)

PACT raises funds to support talented creators and performing artists in NZ and get their wonderful performances to a wide audience.

Nationwide

The arts uplift us, tell our stories and share our emotions. Unfortunately, many of our projects are under-funded or partially funded only, and we rely on you, arts supporters, to help us to keep going. Our trust's mission is to support the creation, performance and recording of some of our leading composers, musicians, vocalists and other artists and get their talent out into the world for current and future audiences. Our highly skilled creatives and artists tell important NZ stories but without funding this couldn't happen. To pay our talented people fairly for each project, and to ensure they can continue to do their work, we rely on grants and donations. Your donation to PACT contributes to a range of artists and creators in Aotearoa.

More about us

PACT supports the creation, performance and recording of new, high quality, performing arts works by New Zealanders. We rely on grants and donations to contract composers, musicians, vocalists and other artists and creators for our projects.

Successful tour of Earth and Air and Rain  31 March 2026

In March 2026 we were excited to bring NZ-born and educated artists - baritone, Jonathan Eyers (now singing professionally in the UK) and pianist Liam Wooding (now based in Australia) - out for a special concert that included Britten, Finzi and Vaughan Williams and honoured NZ poet Brian Turner through Janet Jenning's song cycle, Taking Off!

If you didn't get to the Waikato performances for this whirlwind tour, they are dropping now and over the next 3 weeks on our Youtube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpeErKPm8HFhj6yFVBm8qYg. A selection of Britten's folksongs is there now.

We hugely appreciate any donations to keep making it possible for us to do our important work for the arts community.

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.
