SHAW AND PARTNERS FINANCIAL SERVICES
Major Partner of RISE
Since September 2023, Shaw and Partners Financial Services has proudly supported RISE as a Major Partner, helping us expand access, opportunity and impact for young performers across Australia.
This partnership has played a significant role in allowing RISE to provide scholarships, professional performance experiences, industry mentorship and wellbeing-focused programs for talented young people in the performing arts.
At RISE, our mission is to improve the mental health, mindset and wellbeing of young performers while creating exceptional opportunities for the next generation of Australian talent. Shaw and Partners’ support reflects a shared belief in the importance of investing in young people — not only as performers, but as confident, resilient and supported individuals.
A Partnership Creating Real Impact
The support of Shaw and Partners has helped RISE open doors for young artists who may not otherwise have had access to programs of this calibre.
Through this partnership, more young performers have been able to participate in life-changing performance opportunities, work with professional artists, perform in major venues and be part of a community that values both excellence and wellbeing.
RISE programs are about far more than training and performance. They are about confidence, connection, resilience, self-belief and creating a safer, more supportive future for young people in the performing arts industry.
Shaw and Partners’ support helps make this possible.
“Shaw and Partners’ support helps RISE open doors for talented young performers across Australia.”
Supporting Access, Opportunity and Wellbeing
A core part of the RISE mission is ensuring that talented young performers are supported, regardless of circumstance.
With the support of Shaw and Partners, RISE has been able to offer significant scholarship opportunities and provide access to young artists who may not otherwise have been able to take part.
These opportunities allow performers to:
Train with leading industry professionals
Perform in professionally produced shows
Build confidence, resilience and self-belief
Connect with peers and mentors from across Australia
Experience the performing arts in an environment that prioritises safety, inclusion and wellbeing
For many young people, RISE becomes a turning point — a place where they feel seen, supported and inspired to step into their potential.
More Than Sponsorship
The relationship between RISE and Shaw and Partners goes far beyond traditional sponsorship.
Earl and Katie Evans have been deeply invested in the RISE journey, both personally and professionally. Their belief in the work we do, their generosity, and their genuine care for the young people within our programs have made an enormous difference to our organisation and community.
Katie has become a particularly special part of the RISE story. She works closely with the RISE team in the lead-up to programs, supports sponsorship activations at events, attends programs and performances, and continues to advocate for the RISE mission with extraordinary warmth and generosity.
Her understanding of the heart, values and purpose of RISE has made this partnership especially meaningful.
“Together, we are investing in confidence, resilience, wellbeing and the future of the performing arts.”
Investing in the Next Generation
Together, RISE and Shaw and Partners are helping to build something lasting — a stronger, safer and more supportive performing arts industry for young people.
Their support is an investment in the next generation of artists, leaders and young people. It helps create opportunities that extend far beyond the stage and into the lives, confidence and futures of our participants.
We are deeply grateful to Earl, Katie and the Shaw and Partners team for their ongoing support, trust and belief in RISE.
