The Afunakwa Foundation is registered in the Solomon Islands. As a result, donations are not tax-deductible in other jurisdictions.

Donations support projects determined by the Afunakwa Foundation trustees, with a focus on community-led educational, culturla and wellbeing initiatives connected to the song’s origins.

The Foundation is overseen by trustees based in the Solomon Islands.

The trustees are made up of descendants of Afunakwa — who sang the Rorogwela recording — and Saverio Talifilu, the Headman of East Baegu who oversaw the original recording.

Donations are processed through secure online payment providers. Due to current limitations in the availability of international payment services for Solomon Islands–based accounts, funds are initially received into a designated custodial account in Australia, established specifically to hold donations on behalf of the Foundation under a formal custodial agreement.

Funds are then transferred to the Afunakwa Foundation in the Solomon Islands and applied to Foundation activities in accordance with decisions made collectively by the trustees. All trustees have visibility over the use of funds, and decisions are not made without shared awareness and agreement. Records are maintained to support transparency and appropriate oversight.

One-off and recurring donation options are available and can be selected above in the drop-down menu.
