Support Rumble
Rumble is committed to keeping the cost of attending live performance as low as possible as we believe its benefit to society is immense. Simultaneously, we also believe in paying artists a living wage and supporting the development of their work in a reflexive way.
Mathematics being what they are – this means that we also rely on private donations to expand and enrich our activity; and honestly, to keep the lights on.
Watch the videos below to learn more about Rumble’s impact on our local community, as well as at a national level.
If you are in a position to support us, we guarantee we will make it go far, and are happy to issue tax receipts.
Don’t have anything to spare? We (very much) get that. You can also really help us, by spreading the word or sharing the videos below (also available in our social media platforms)!
Donate Today!
If you are able to help support us financially, please feel free to make a donation through Canada Helps.
