Donate to the Con

Support music education in our region by making a tax-deductible donation to the Tamworth Regional Conservatorium of Music. Your generosity sustains access, excellence, and opportunity – supporting students, teachers, instruments, and facilities so music can continue to enrich lives and strengthen our community.

The Tamworth Regional Conservatorium of Music (TRCM) plays a vital role in providing high-quality, accessible music education and performance opportunities across our region. As a not-for-profit organisation, TRCM relies on the generosity of individuals, families, and supporters to sustain and grow its programs.

Your donation helps ensure that students of all ages and backgrounds can access music education, that teachers are supported in delivering programs across a wide geographic area, and that our facilities and instruments remain fit for purpose.

TRCM holds Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, meaning eligible donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible in accordance with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) guidelines.
