Established by musicians Danielle Caruana and John Butler in 2005 The Seed Fund is a philanthropic fund, funded by artists for the Australian music arts community.
Since its inception in 2005, The Seed Fund has offered support to Australian artists and industry workers from all backgrounds, working with 280+ managers and self managed artists, many of whom have gone on to become self sustained and continue to thrive in the industry.
