Manchester International Festival is a registered charity which receives around 40% of its running costs from public sector partners with the remaining 60% coming from co-commissioning, ticket sales, sponsorship and donations.

In 2011, MIF created 20 new commissions, which were seen by nearly a quarter of a million people. The Festival brought international artists such as Björk, Marina Abramović, Willem Dafoe and Snoop Dog to Manchester to mix with home grown talent such as Victoria Wood, Johnny Vegas and WU LYF.

To enable this work to happen we rely on gifts of all sizes from individuals, trusts, foundations and sponsorship from organisations. With your help we are able to continue to create ground-breaking commissions and bring international artists to Manchester for 18 extraordinary days, every two years.
