The School of Music Foundation provides an invaluable link to the corporate community, through sponsor and patron development.

The Foundation provides a focus for music lovers to nurture and encourage the teaching, performance and research of music. Established under the umbrella of the Endowment for Excellence of The Australian National University, donations to the School of Music Foundation can be used in a range of projects designed to encourage the best from the students and staff of the School. These include:

• scholarships and Prizes

• support for Master Classes and Visiting Fellows to bring national and international visiting artists to the School of Music
• the Instrument Acquisition Program to assist young musicians to reach their musical potential
• local performances and national tours of student ensembles
