Join us for a night of grace and giving where the legacy of LGBTQIA+ trailblazers illuminates our path forward.

Rainbow Giving Australia is an ambitious new foundation for LGBTQIA+ communities, formed in November 2024 from the strategic merger of the Aurora Group and GiveOUT. Despite progress, our communities are far from equal, and our underfunded sector struggles to meet demand, so we're driving change by funding community-led solutions, growing skills, and building a movement around the funding needs across the LGBTQIA+ sector. (Read more about our Purpose here). Rainbow Giving Australia carries forward Aurora's proud tradition of celebration and community giving, while building a bold, inclusive future for LGBTQIA+ philanthropy.

Aurora Renaissance Ball – The Art of New Beginnings invites you to embrace an age of renewal, where we honour those who paved the way, and unite to create a future worthy of their courage.

Our hosts, Rhys Nicholson (they/them) and Adriano Cappelletta (he/him) will guide you through an unforgettable evening featuring opportunities to contribute to vital LGBTQIA+ community initiatives, captivating performances by celebrated LGBTQIA+ artists, recognition of community luminaries, and an exquisite three-course dining experience.

Secure your place at this transformative gathering. Each ticket includes full evening entertainment, dining, and beverages while supporting Rainbow Giving Australia's grants programs that empower LGBTQIA+ communities nationwide.

Dress to impress in Renaissance-inspired formal attire - A grand prize awaits the best-dressed guest. 

Guests will also receive 10% off hotel stays in Sydney. More info when you purchase your ticket.
