The Cantonese Opera Development Fund (CODF) was set up in 2005. The CODF is managed with the assistance of the CODF Advisory Committee. Investment matters are advised by the CODF Investment Committee formed under the Advisory Committee. The Secretary for Home Affairs acts as the Trustee of the Fund. The CODF is set up to support programmes and events that aim to study, promote and assist the continuous development of Cantonese opera. The Fund has been open for application every four months since 2007. Cantonese opera development programmes, including professional training and performances, arts education and community activities, research and archival projects, as well as cultural exchange and venue support projects, proposed by local registered bodies and individuals are eligible for consideration.
As a charitable fund, the CODF welcomes donations from different organisations, enterprises and members of the public to help facilitate the development of Cantonese opera.
