Support CAAMA with a tax deductible* donation:


The Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (Aboriginal Corporation), ICN 67, is a public benelovent institution. In accordance with the Australia Taxation Office, CAAMA is a Deductible Gift Recipient.  CAAMA’s ABN: 32 603 325 704.

The Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) came to life in 1982 with the establishment of radio station 8KIN FM. Aboriginal-owned media was seen as being vital to the broad educational and community development aspirations of Aboriginal people in Central Australia. Radio was a way to give voice to Aboriginal hopes and dreams as well as being a tool to maintain and sustain the culture and languages of Central Australia. Originally offering music and programming in Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara, Luritja and Warlpiri, today CAAMA broadcasts in half a dozen more Indigenous languages, reaching communities across Australia.

CAAMA plays a major role in the maintenance of Indigenous Language and Culture in Central Australia. CAAMA’s social charter is to use the mediums of radio and television to give Aboriginal people a strong voice in the development of country, culture, politics and education; to use the broadcasting arts and sciences to arrest cultural disintegration, to empower people and bring inspiration to their lives.

CAAMA is governed by an elected Indigenous Board reporting to Indigenous members, while operations are managed by an Indigenous CEO.

Bequests

Bequests

If you appreciate the work of CAAMA, please consider leaving a bequest to CAAMA in your will. Your legacy will help to ensure that CAAMA can continue its work maintaining and sustaining language and culture in Central Australia.
Some Frequently Asked Questions

Why does CAAMA need my bequest?

CAAMA receives government financial support for the operation of the station. However, a major part of the costs of maintaining the organisation comes from the people who appreciate the service we provide all day every day. Without this support the station would eventually cease to exist.

If I decide to leave a bequest to CAAMA, what form should it take?

All bequests are appreciated equally. There are several options for bequests:
1. Specific Gift: This specifies an amount of money or property or some other asset.
2. Percentage or Fractional Bequest: This specifies that a percentage or fraction of the total value of your estate be willed to CAAMA.
3. Residual Bequest: This wills to CAAMA the remainder of your estate after all expenses have been met and all other beneficiaries have received their inheritances.
4. Whole Estate: This wills the value of your entire estate to CAAMA.

What wording should I use in my will?

You should consult your solicitor or professional advisor. However, we recommend the following wording:
“I bequeath to the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA), ABN 32 603 325 704 of 101 Todd Street, Alice Springs, NT 0870, for its general purposes (the whole) or (a specific amount or gift) or (a percentage) or (the residue) of my estate free of all duties for which a receipt from the Chief Executive Office or other authorised person shall be a full discharge to my executor.”

May I nominate how my bequest is to be used?

Yes, you may, but it is preferred that you delegate this responsibility to the Board of Directors, who are all dedicated volunteers and are aware of the station’s needs and priorities which can change with the passage of time.

How do I change my will to nominate CAAMA as a beneficiary?

An amendment, known as a codicil, can be made easily by your solicitor for a small fee.

Will my bequest be recognised if I so choose?

Unless you choose to remain anonymous, your bequest will be recognized on the CAAMA Honour Board located in the foyer of the station.

If I have other questions, whom do I contact?

Please contact Sergei Jansons, Financial Controller of CAAMA, during office hours on 08 8951 9778 for advice on a confidential basis.

Thank you for your interest in supporting CAAMA with a bequest. We are pleased that you share our belief in the important role that our station plays in the community.
