TSO Foundation

The Foundation

The TSO Foundation is a Public Ancillary Fund (PuAF) which was established in 2008 as an endowment fund for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

Today, the TSO Foundation receives legacy gifts, ensuring gifts provided through wills have an enduring impact. This is achieved through preserving the capital of these gifts with 4% of the Fund’s capital distributed annually by the Trust to support the orchestra and financial security of the TSO.

The trustee of the Trust is TSO Holdings Ltd Board, with some responsibilities delegated to the Audit & Risk Committee.
