Towards the Memorial
To date, the Foundation has raised $50,000 towards the target of $60,000 for a formal Memorandum of Understanding to be developed with the Australian War Memorial. Once signed, the project scope and design process commences.
Fundraising for the Memorial will then commence in earnest with hundreds of thousands of dollars required to create the Memorial within the AWM precinct. When the project design is agreed, a formal funding schedule will be developed, based on the total project budget and cash required to meet contract milestones.
Once the design is agreed upon, the Commonwealth Government will consider a grant application. Until that time, accumulated donations to the AWM account are quarantined and applied for this purpose only.
