How you can help!

Every contribution that you make to The ACMF will truly make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged and Indigenous children and youth throughout Australia. In addition to sponsorships of our music programs or the National Songwriting Competition, the ACMF could benefit from the following involvement from organisations. If you believe you or your organisation could assist, please contact our office on 02 9929 0008 or email us at contact@acmf.com.au.

DONATIONS

• Financial contributions from staff - could be a regular small donation taken each pay period. In addition, the organisation could match dollar for dollar on staff contributions.
• One day per year, the company asks all staff to contribute $1 towards the ACMF. Far less than a cup of coffee but huge financial benefit to ACMF to implement programs if it is a large organisation.
• If you are a music group, a percentage of your booking / ticket sales could go to the ACMF. For example, there is a classical group who perform in pubs throughout Melbourne called 'ClassicJam' - they donate over fifty percent of their booking fees as well as any audience donations to the ACMF
• If you have a retail outlet, a percentage or a particular item or total sales could go to the ACMF. For example, Under Dog clothing donate a percentage of their clothing sales to the ACMF.

JOIN OUR PHILANTHROPIC CHOIR

• For just $20 you will ensure the ACMF can continue running music programs in disadvantaged and Indigenous schools and juvenile detention centres throughout Australia. Your contribution will help the ACMF provide free music tuition with a specialised music teacher for 12 months as well as free musical instruments. Click here for more details.
• You will also have the opportunity to meet some of our other supporters including The Wiggles, Ann Sanders, Tim Freedman, Adam Spencer, Glenn Wheeler, Leo Sayer and Jane Flemming when we gather together our choir members for future media events. Click here for more details.
