Current supporters
We are deeply grateful to the individuals, organisations and trusts & foundations who generously support Aurora’s work, including those who wish to remain anonymous. Support comes in many forms, and in addition to the grants and philanthropic gifts listed below we’d also like to thank those who support us in other ways – from generously hosting special events, to providing a home from home for our players during concert periods. To everyone who is a part of Aurora, we extend our sincere thanks.
