YEAH! 2025 – Donate Now!

Donate to connect young people in regional Victoria with the arts!

Did you know that three in five young Australians agree that creative activities and experiences helped with their mental health or wellbeing?* That’s because for many young people in regional areas, music, dance, visual arts and other creative activities provide important social connections as well as expressive outlet that has a significant impact on child development.

What will we do with your donation?

Your gift to YEAH! 2025 will support a performance in a region that you select (see how the nominated communities are doing with their targets below). If you don’t mind where your donation goes, or if your region has reached their target, please select ‘YEAH! Campaign 2025’ and your donation will go to the Creative Learning program and Regional Arts Victoria as a not-for-profit charitable organisation.

Join us in ensuring young people in regional Victoria benefit from the arts with a tax deductible gift before 30 June.
