Di Jameson Family Foundation Funding

Supports young Australian musicians and the organisations that help them flourish.

The Di Jameson Family Foundation invests in learning, performance, and creative development opportunities that open doors to lasting careers in music.

Across the year, the Foundation supports music-making where it matters most — creating opportunities for young people, emerging artists, and professional musicians to learn, create, and perform across Australia.

Guided by generosity and a belief in the power of music to transform lives, the Foundation partners with individuals and institutions who share its vision for a vibrant and inclusive cultural future.

The DJFF proudly supports projects that:
- Open doors for emerging artists,
- Nurture new Australian work,
- And bring high-quality music experiences to communities across Australia.

The Foundation funds education programs, workshops, and collaborations that nurture emerging musicians and strengthen their career pathways.

Through strategic partnerships and targeted grants, the Foundation provides training, mentorship, new-work opportunities, and essential instruments. This expands music access and creates lasting community impact.
