The St James' Music Foundation
Foundation Structure
The St James' Foundation Limited, a company limited by guarantee, and is the trustee for The St James' Music Foundation. The company has received the appropriate approvals from the Australian Government allowing donations to the Foundation to be tax deductible. The intention is to raise a capital sum sufficient to yield a return to fund the ongoing music program at St James' Church, King Street. Currently we believe that a capital sum of $7 million will be needed to provide sufficient funding for this purpose. The St James' Music Foundation alone has provided $2.1 million to St James' Church, King Street since inception, slowing the capital growth.
Donations are being sought from corporations, and individuals, with appropriate recognition given to donors' generosity.
