For Local Government
Investing in your local music economy has never been this enjoyable.
One of The Pack's co-founders spent over two decades in local government sustainability and impact design, so we understand the pressure to justify every dollar before it leaves the budget. That's exactly why we built a model that makes cultural investment measurable, scalable, and genuinely worth doing.
The case for patronage
WA's contemporary music sector currently receives around 23 cents per capita in government funding, against more than $2 in NSW. That's not a small gap, and we think it's one worth closing properly, which is a fair chunk of why The Pack exists. Our patronage model is tiered by council size, from $1,000 a year for councils under 5,000 people up to $35,000 for councils over 200,000, so the investment scales with the community it's serving. Patrons receive de-identified, location-specific cultural and economic data, built to support evidence-based arts investment rather than guesswork. And place activation through hyper-local music discovery does real, visible work: foot traffic, community cohesion, and local artists actually being seen in their own city.
The Pack's not-for-profit cultural organisation, currently in development, will also provide grant-making capacity for First Nations, female-identifying, culturally and linguistically diverse, and LGBTQI+ musicians in your area, work that patronage helps make possible sooner rather than later.
What we ask of you
Patron governments actively promote The Pack across their business, arts, and community networks. We make that easy: a full content marketing asset pack and dedicated marketing support come with every patronage, so it's a genuine collaboration rather than a one-way ask.
