Advantages
| • | Information will be available regarding membership donation totals, and the capital funds held in the Concert Artistes International trust as well. |
| • | You may shift all the capital you have given to date, from one charity to another as you choose, which will affect the percentage of funds the affected charity/s will have of the total capital, and how much they can collect from future fundraising concert events. |
| • | The income generated from the investment of your capital donations will continue to hire musicians to fundraise for your chosen charity/s, even long after you are gone. |
| • | Via the C.A.I. website you can keep track of the percentages of the total capital that each charity owns at all times. |
| • | Once you have contributed the total sum of any membership level, you will be remembered permanently in all future programme guides for your contributions. |
| • | You may give to as few or as many charities as you want at one time, as what you give will be equally divided between those charities. |
| • | If you are a music teacher, students may pay their tuition to C.A.I. by the 15th of each month for the next month, and by the 25th of that month these fees will be deposited into your account. Gift Aid which C.A.I. can apply for on the students' tuition fees, will be used to hire you and your students in future fundraising events at Musicians' Union rates, even if you or your students only perform for up to 15 minutes each at the concert. |
A former violin instructor from the Bristol University left 100k to the Cat's Protection League. What a pity the C.A.I. Project did not exist back then, because if it had, that instructor would have had the option of leaving part of, or all of that sum to the Cat's Protection League through the C.A.I. Trust. The income generated from investment of the capital alone from his donation would have provided work for a full orchestra of up to 50 members every year, raising funds from ticket sales to benefit the Cat's Protection League permanently. The Orchestra could have been named after him, and every year he would have been honoured for his contribution to this cause.
At the moment each charity owns a percentage of the total funds in the Trust, based upon contributions by members. If a member would like to see a particular charity gain a higher percentage from a fundraising concert event, they can contribute more to that charity by choosing fewer charities to donate to.
The income generated from the investment of capital funds in the C.A.I. Trust will be used to pay musicians who take part in fundraising concert events. This will raise further funding to be used for the continuity of concert events and the hire of more musicians in the future. At the same time C.A.I. would be raising funds for all the charities listed in the C.A.I. Project.
