Investing in the next generation of musicians
Where opportunity meets talent
About the Foundation
The Di Jameson Family Foundation (DJFF) supports young Australian musicians and the organisations that help them flourish.
We invest in learning, performance, and creative development opportunities that open doors to lasting careers in music.
Guided by generosity and a belief in the power of music to transform lives, we partner with individuals and institutions who share our vision for a vibrant and inclusive cultural future.
Making a Difference
What We Do and What We Fund
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.
We fund education programs, workshops, and collaborations that nurture emerging musicians and strengthen their career pathways.
Through strategic partnerships and targeted grants, we provide training, mentorship, new‑work opportunities, and essential instruments. This expands music access and creates lasting community impact.

Di Jameson Family Foundation Launch
The Foundation was established from a simple but deeply held belief: that access to music can shape confidence, curiosity, and a sense of possibility — especially when that access begins early and is sustained over time.
