The DYMF is a self funded community group through personal contributions, and donations by its board, musicians and supporters.

Sponsoring or making a donation is kept simple. 

An individual or organisation can make a direct donation to the DYMF to support one or several of NAMED awards.

Those funds assist in the purchase of a musical Instrument or contribute to private music lessons and future competitions for students to enter and win prizes as well as recital opportunities.

A benefactor or sponsor(s) will be invited to attend competitions,  take part in adjudication, (where they feel comfortable,) meet the participants and winners and attend a recital or concert they are performing in the future. All contributors will be acknowledged via our website, social media and concert programs and provided updates on the musicians progress through social media.
