Where passion meets possibility for tomorrow’s musicians

The Di Jameson Family Foundation Story

The Di Jameson Family Foundation was established by Di Jameson OAM to support young Australian musicians and the organisations that help them thrive.

Grounded in a lifelong love of music and a deep belief in the power of opportunity, the Foundation reflects the Jameson family’s enduring commitment to education, creativity, and community.

Our Story

A Family Legacy of Music, Learning and Giving

Di Jameson’s connection to music runs deep. Introduced to the piano as a young girl and inspired by her mother’s love of music, she has long believed in music’s power to open doors. Over decades, she has championed the idea that every young person deserves the chance to learn, create, and express themselves through music.

The Foundation brings this vision to life, transforming individual acts of generosity into lasting support for musicians and the cultural organisations that sustain them.

From early grants to schools and youth orchestras to national initiatives like Compose Australia, the Foundation continues to grow its impact — one project, one partnership, one performance at a time.
