The Empire Theatres Foundation exists to:
- provide performing arts opportunities to further the cultural experiences and professional development of young people nationally with connections to the Toowoomba region where appropriate;

Bursary Programs
The Empire Theatres Foundation provides performing arts opportunities to further the cultural experiences of young people, by offering two bursaries.
The Brian Boak Bursary Program offers two bursaries on alternate years - the 'Outstanding Performer' bursary, worth approximately $25,000 and a 'Developing Performer' bursary, to the value of $10,000.
The Foundation Youth Program offers bursaries in specific professional development short courses at leading Australian performing arts educational institutions.
