Creating opportunities for participants of all ages, cultural backgrounds, genders, neighbourhoods, abilities, and personalities to be creative, collaborative, and courageous as they express themselves through Shakespeare.

Respect: We commit to creating an environment of respect in which everyone can be courageous because they are welcomed, heard, and supported.
Enthusiasm: We embrace a non-judgmental atmosphere in which we celebrate exploration, discovery, generosity, collaboration, playfulness, and joy.

Helping to overcome barriers to experiencing Shakespeare.
Established by the Bard Volunteers in 2009, the Access Fund eliminates barriers to participating in Bard programming. Individuals, schools, and community organizations can apply for subsidized access to our Education programs and Festival events. The Fund also creates opportunities for more access by underwriting partnerships and initiatives to address community need.
