Support Us
Manchester International Festival is the world’s first festival of original, new work and special events.
Over the past 13 years, more than a million people have experienced MIF projects around the city and beyond – everywhere from theatres and galleries to schools, churches and railway depots. Created by leading national and international artists, often working in collaboration with local residents, our works have thrilled visitors, impressed critics and inspired people all over Greater Manchester.
Our success would not be possible without the generous support of the individuals, trusts, foundations, public funders and corporate sponsors who help to make the Festival happen. As a charity, we rely on private backing, and we’re enormously grateful to all our past, present and future supporters.
On these pages, you can learn more about how you can join them, and become a part of Manchester International Festival.
"MIF simply wouldn’t be possible in the way that it is without all our supporters. It’s their contribution and long-term support that enables us to work on that international level – to bring the best artists from across the world and make a unique offer for them to do something new and extraordinary."
