Funding work that travels.
Bayfront's main agent matches presenters to shows. This page runs a second matching flow — same platform, same catalogue, different currency. Patrons, foundations and corporate supporters tell us what they care about; the system shortlists GBA companies with tour-ready work that needs funding to reach its audience. Same introduction-style workflow, no commission on the gift.
Back a specific production.
Tell us what you care about — early years, dance, mainland tours, school partnerships — and we'll send you a shortlist of companies with productions seeking support. You pick the project, we introduce you, the relationship is yours. We don't take commission; the gift goes direct to the company.
- Shortlists tailored to your region, discipline, age band and giving capacity
- Every candidate company is verified on Bayfront and has been reviewed by a published critic
- We can handle introductions, diligence briefings or structured naming — your choice
- No commission, no brokerage fee, no exclusivity
Post your ask, publicly.
If your production has a tour on the table but a funding gap, you can list it on our public "Seeking Support" board below. Patrons browsing the platform contact Bayfront, and we make the introduction back to you. Listings are free; you keep everything that's raised.
- Brief your production once, list it publicly, leave the rest to the platform
- Patron enquiries come to Bayfront first — we filter and forward
- You set the ask, the timeframe, and what the gift unlocks
- You must be a listed Bayfront company to post an ask
