Thank you to Concert Lighting Systems and Lisa Inman, Lucy Guerin Inc, Polyglot, Power Stage, PRD Music Services, Resolution X, and Sydney Theatre Company for providing technical support.

Thank you to the generous people and organisations that donated items for our new office at the La Mama Courthouse. Thank you to all who so generously offered their valuable time, professional advice and support in the period after the La Mama Fire.

La Mama is extremely grateful for financial relief packages supplied by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, the Australia Council for the ArtsCity of Melbourne and from Heritage Victoria.

Thank you to the individuals who donated to our La Mama 4 All Access Program in 2018: Xanthe Beesley, Karen Brown, Helen Donnard, Petria Eaves, Wilma Giles-Corti, Simon Fisher, Peter Fraser, Piper Huynh, Lisa Inman, David Jones, Petra Kalive and Tim Stitz, Daniel Koop, Sandra Long, Colette Mann, Gordon Mar, Fiona Maxwell, Jane Miller, Christine McKenzie, Peta Murray, Vanessa O’Neill, Jean Tong, and Amy Tsilemanis.

Thank you to Jeanne Pratt and The Pratt Foundation for their visionary support over a number of years; and so too the Sidney Myer Fund whose long-term generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you to the Besen Family Foundation for their support.

Finally we also feel it important to mark that we have just passed the Ten-Year anniversary of our largest fundraising effort to date – the enormous contribution from our community in 2008 to Save La Mama by purchasing our building on Faraday Street. Thank you, we will never forget this long-lasting act of generosity.
