Colonial First State Charity Initiative

  • Colonial First State always say, “we want what you want” and that includes the charities you want to support. Tell us about your favourite charity and Colonial First State will get behind them with a $1,000 donation.

    As Australia's largest fund manager, Colonial First State thinks it's important to give back to Australian charities and wants your help to do so.

    Each week from the 18th of January, Colonial First State are going to give a $1,000 donation to a charity in need.

    All you have to do is nominate a charity close to your heart, which you believe deserves a helping hand.  It might be a cause you help out through donations, fundraising or volunteering or simply something that you feel passionate about.  Every Friday, the selected charity will be announced during the Morning Program with Steve Liebmann (9:00am - 12:00pm).

    This is a great opportunity for you to help your favourite cause, and it's a great opportunity for Colonial First State to help as many people in need as possible.  

    So, how do you enter?  Simply fill out the online ballot below and tell us in 150 words or less who your nominated charity is, what they do, why you are nominating them and what they need (donations, equipment, supplies).

    Conditions of entry are below.  Please check them before you enter.  Note that all nominated charities must have DGR status and that the judge's decision is final.
