AFCM FUTURE FUND
The AFCM Future Fund was established in 2013 to ensure the Australian Festival of Chamber Music and its cultural legacy can continue into the future.
The AFCM Future Fund is a financial reserve that is separate from AFCM operating funds, created to support ‘grand vision’ projects such as a new performance space, new performance infrastructure or an unparalleled artistic initiative, or to assist in times of extreme financial hardship, supported by a Board-approved business plan and in accordance with the objects of the company. The Fund is also the repository for all AFCM bequests of $10,000 and above not designated by the donor for a specific purpose.
Like all arts organisations AFCM faced very challenging times in 2020-2022. This period of uncertainty has emphasised to us the importance of having preventive measures in place to ensure our long-term sustainability and ability to respond to environmental factors out of our control. Building our Future Fund is one of the ways we can face such challenges with confidence and creativity, and continue to celebrate great music, artists and friends at AFCM each year. Contributions to the Future Fund have so far reached $396,080, or 39% of our target. No funds have been drawn from the AFCM Future Fund to date.
DONATE HERE
We hope you will consider joining our Future Fund donors. The AFCM’s legacy is a wonderful achievement, and we would welcome you as part of our story.
Contributions to the Future Fund are received into the AFCM Donations Fund bank account and are fully tax-deductible. Investment of monies in the Future Fund is made in accordance with guidelines for public funds laid down by the Australian Taxation Office and Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission Governance Standards. AFCM invests funds in appropriate securities to help achieve these targets, utilising independent financial advice.
