COVID-19 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUND

Following the ongoing devastating effects on the entertainment industry of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation is now supporting those most in need. After discussions with the Actors' Benevolent Fund NSW (ABF), the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation has become a seed funder of the ABF's COVID 19 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUND. The Fund provides emergency assistance to those finding it difficult to survive due to the shutdown of the sector. We feel sure that you will understand that it will be necessary to take the unprecedented step to suspend the current Foundation Grant Round in order to direct funds to benefit those in the performing arts community in need of emergency financial assistance. https://www.actorsbenevolentfund.org.au/page/37/emergency-covid-19-assistance

The Mission of the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation

Benefiting the Australian Performing Arts Since 1986

The Foundation since its inception is proud to have been able to assist many organisations and persons including the following. Read more...

The Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation was founded in 1986 as a charitable organisation to benefit the Australian Performing Arts. It originated when the Griffin Theatre Company, who were doing such valiant work in promoting Australian plays and playwrights, appealed for somebody to save the historic Stables Theatre at Kings Cross. This was done by our purchasing the Stables Theatre and the Griffin Theatre Company has benefited by having a rent free theatre (less outgoings) since 1986.
