Audience Fund
Well before one festival has finished, the planning for the next one is underway. A significant proportion of our income to support each festival is not received until we launch and tickets go on sale. Regular giving is a wonderful way for you to share our vision for CIMF, because we know we can count on your support when we are planning our next festival. You can become a regular contributor by making a one-off annual donation or a monthly pledge. Whether you give $10, $20 or $100 a month, your donation is an investment in our festival’s future. Donations can be made at any time of the year and are directed to where these funds will make a difference. For more information contact 02 6230 5880 or email info@cimf.org.au
A Token Of Gratitude, Elvis Forever - Damian Mullin
2020 will be remembered as a time that changed the way we live; we think and what we value. The pandemic may have harnessed its power to unleash uncertainty, but it has not taken away our spirit. At the peak of a heavily booked schedule, Damian was forced to stop. Shows were cancelled, refunds were made & plans were put on hold. At a time that should have been his most challenging, Damian rose above the chaos & continued to deliver hope & joy to his fans. With regular free online shows & his commitment to his social media communities, the philosophy of ‘we are in this together’ truly rang true. To date, Damian has lost much of his income due to the cancellation of shows. This fundraising page has been created for those who can & wish to contribute to say thanks. As Damian would say, “the show must go on” & we think you would agree, it certainly has. Damian’s unwavering commitment & dedication is something that truly should be applauded. Thank you for your support! Team Elvis Forever

Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir
Few could have imagined that 2020 would turn out in the way it has. For arts organisations and artists, there's a long road ahead us before we start seeing performances to large live audiences again. By this time of year, the Cambrian Choir would normally be in the midst of our Theatre Restaurant season, and our patrons would have been able to experience at least one concert from each of our five choirs. These performances give us the income we need to literally keep the lights on and the doors open! The Cambrian Senior Choir has been lucky to have been rehearsing again since mid-June under COVID-Safe conditions, culminating in a live-streamed concert on YouTube at 7:30pm, Saturday 12 Sept. We know that many of our regular patrons will have been affected financially, but if you find yourself in the position to make a donation, whether the amount you might have spent on attending Cambrian performances this year, or more if you have the means, it would make all the difference to us.
Hepburn Wildlife Shelter
We operated a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility in central Victoria, for the purpose of rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating wildlife.

The therapy laser machine will provide the shelter with an increased capacity to manage pain and heal wounds in injured wildlife.
