Keep Western art music alive in our diverse culture
We need your help. Unlike the UK, EU & USA, funding for Western Art Music is not a priority for our three tiers of government. Australia is lagging behind OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries in cultural funding, placing #23 out of 34 countries. There’s just not enough funding. Western Art Music is the foundational language of our multicultural music culture. We want to keep this music vibrant, engaging and accessible. Audiences are at the heart of our productions with one of our aims to bring the diversity of European music to new supporters. Audience development means not only more people but also a more diversified and more engaged audience, reaching out to people who never or rarely participate in cultural activities. We've been highly successful in engaging the under-35s who are looking for edgy and interesting music forms to stretch their musical appreciation. All donations are tax-deductible.
Life of Pi and his three legs
Life of Pi. Just like the book, Pi has been on a big journey in his short life and it’s just the start of his story. Wee Pi was only 10 weeks old when he found scared & cold on a major road in Carrum Downs. We feel he went out looking for help. Luckily a passing lady caught him & took him to PETSTOCK Vet. He was found cold, hungry, covered in fleas & with a leg injury. Wee Pi had been living on the streets for a while. On examination Pi was found to be missing the bottom half of his rear leg (his ankle and foot). We don’t know how this happened,it could have been abuse or a nasty accident but it had been like that for a while. Unfortunately Pi has now developed a pressure sore on his knee and needs to have the remainder of his leg amputated. This will help his mobility & allow the wound to finally heal. As with all our rescue cats we can only help them with major surgery through the help of supporters. We are looking to raise $1000 for his surgery & aftercare.
2026 ISP Cambodia – Eli Condren - GC
The International Service Project (ISP) and the idea of giving back have long been part of the DNA of The Industry School. We completed our first project with New Hope in 2013 and have undertaken five more projects since then. Staff and selected students, together with skilled tradespeople of all backgrounds, fly to Siem Reap in Cambodia to utilise their skills, passion and enthusiasm to support New Hope Cambodia – a not-for-profit that provides free education, healthcare, and community and crisis care support for preschool-aged children and youth in Siem Reap.
St Columba's Day | de Lacy House Partnership
De Lacy House is proud to partner with St Vincent’s Hospital Emergency Department – Alcohol and Drug Hub. This vital service supports some of the most vulnerable members of our community, including those experiencing homelessness, who often arrive with no belongings. Funds raised will go towards purchasing essential items such as jumpers, tracksuits, and basic toiletries, allowing staff to provide care packs for patients as they leave the hub—offering dignity, comfort, and support in their next steps.

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
