Leave a legacy
Leave a legacy for CMF in your will.
CMF has benefitted from legacies in the past and we are exceptionally grateful.
Legacies are a wonderful and tax-efficient way to ensure that exceptional musicians now and in the future are nurtured and helped to secure their careers.
Commissions
Commissions are possible for works for performance by CMF artists – perhaps with a specific event in mind.
We are planning to commission music for the 900th Anniversary of St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 2023, as CMF and Barts Heritage are in a partnership, sharing some spaces and projects. There is an opportunity to support this and be part of the process.
Fundraising campaigns
Both CMF and our artists regularly campaign to raise money to meet specific needs – for instance our campaign to buy a CMF piano.
Campaigns can be for almost anything… arranging accommodation for a tour… funding a video… or supporting an artist’s own crowdfunding.
A CMF Piano
CMF needs help to buy a good piano for use in the Great Hall at Barts.
We are looking for a substantial donation for half the cost, which we can then use as part of a matched funding scheme to raise the other half.
Contact us please if you are interested and able to help.
