Now more than ever, the rural and regional young people of our communities need your help

The local foundation Matched Giving Campaign is back!

Thanks to a longstanding national private philanthropic Foundation partner, all donations made to CEF local foundations during September and October will be matched dollar for dollar up to a capped amount.

With Finance company Finder reporting that 70% of Generation Z respondents to its survey stated they were under financial stress, in its latest cost of living report in March, the need to support regional students with their educational expenses has never been more important.

Donate to a CEF local foundation from 1st September to 31st October and thanks to generous anonymous donors, CEF National Office will match it dollar for dollar!

The target is to match $200,000 nationally.

Each dollar donated to one of our local foundations will be matched and donated back to the community to a capped amount.
