Support Us

Double the difference you can make this Christmas. Between 12pm (midday) 3rd December and 12pm (midday) 10th December, donate whatever you can to and see your gift doubled - magic!

As a registered Scottish charity (SC002368), we depend on donations to keep our stage doors wide open, to work with schools and community groups, produce ambitious theatre, keep tickets affordable – and to do more good with and for our community. Whether in Edinburgh, the local community or globally, we need your help to spark creativity and empower cultural agency.

Don’t forget to Gift Aid your donation if you can! If you are a UK taxpayer and eligible to Gift Aid your donation, the Traverse will be able to claim 25p for every £1 you give - a further vital contribution toward our work. Should you wish to add a Gift Aid declaration in relation to your donation please email our team.

As a registered charity, the Traverse receives regular public subsidy, however, this usually only accounts for less than 1/3 of our income. We raise the remaining funds by relying on the support we receive from Trusts and Foundations, corporate partnerships, grants, and passionate individuals. Any profits we generate from box office income, our script shop, our bar and any of our other activities, are ploughed back into creating new writing theatre and offering opportunities to develop the next generation of theatre makers and theatre-goers.

We are extremely thankful for all those who have supported, and continue to support the Traverse Theatre and its extraordinary community of artists and audiences throughout the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the cost of living crisis. By donating to the Traverse, you support the discovery of new talent, the staging of ambitious productions, and opportunities for everyone to experience our theatre and tell their stories with us. Your donation will help us to discover and develop creativity in those who tell stories we all want - and need - to hear.
