Become a Shepparton Festival Patron, contributions are now tax deductable.

The Shepparton Festival is a non-for-profit regional arts festival that encourages artistic expression in our community by working with local groups and organisations.

Festival Chair Michael Molloy is encouraging the community to support the continued work of the Shepparton Festival by becoming a Festival Patron in 2015.

"The Shepparton Festival relies on the donations of organisations, companies and individuals to maintain and build a sustainable future for this much loved Shepparton celebration," explains Mr. Molloy.

"The Shepparton Festival received its DGR status in 2015, which means for the first time it can run a tax deductible Patrons Program," Mr Molloy said.

"We are encouraging interested businesses in the community to support the Festival by becoming either a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum Festival Patron," adds Mr. Molloy.

The Patron Program will be open annually and Festival Patrons who sign up this financial year will be recognized as part of the 20th Shepparton Festival celebrations in 2016.

Individuals and groups can still sign up to become ‘Friends of the Festival' at Riverlinks and will be eligible for concession tickets throughout the 2015 Shepparton Festival.
