Why do we need to raise funds?

Tone List is a volunteer-run, registered not-for-profit charity organisation. It costs us about $3000 a year to maintain insurances, business registrations, and software subscriptions. As we pay all of our ticket money to artists, we have previously covered these costs by including them in grant budgets where appropriate. Our applications both this and last year towards project funding for 2023 were all rejected, leaving us without this usual financial base.

Here is why those things are worth paying for:

- our NFP status lets us apply for and auspice funding to support projects in the scene. We frequently volunteer our time to do this and have paid tens of thousands in artist fees to musicians through our own projects and via auspices.

- we’re a channel for philanthropic support for the scene and have supported tax-deductible donations being directed to pay artists for performances and new work

- we advocate for the scene internationally and have aided in getting WA artists to festivals and concert series' interstate and overseas through the networks we’ve established via the label and our concert programming.

- our standing as an award-winning, critically acclaimed platform allows us to write valuable letters of support to support internationally touring artists in their applications for funding inbound travel, and Perth artists acquiring funding for projects. We do this dozens of times a year.

- we advocate for local institutions and festivals to take the local experimental music scene seriously, involving artists from the scene in their programming and paying artists and curators proper rates for their work.

- artists on our roster receive benefits like free BandCamp Pro subscriptions for their own profiles.

- we can maintain a digital archive of our activities for posterity.

We welcome questions and comments from you all!

Accessibility: The Sullivan Hall is a wheelchair accessible space. Both bathrooms are all-gender and wheelchair accessible and are located outside of the space, accessible via even terrain (concrete path). Both doors of the venue will be open for much of the day to ensure airflow; we will only close them if there are noise concerns. Tone List promotes “being how you are” at the show, you can move around, lie on the floor, check out and go outside if you need fresh air or a break, etc. There is parking available immediately outside the venue, however it fills up quickly. The music will at times be loud.

Tone List acknowledges the sovereign Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional and rightful custodians of where we work (Walyalup and Boorloo).
