Colony 47

Sponsorship

Your Contribution?
Every contribution is warmly appreciated and goes to benefit the clients of the services Colony 47 provides. Your contribution also provides incentives for our staff to continue their sometimes difficult task of building opportunity and hope into the lives of those we work with. The contribution of your business, and those from individuals, makes a significant difference to the scope of services and assistance the organisation can provide. As part of your contribution we like to ensure that recognition is provided to those that assist the work we complete.

Our Approach
At Colony 47 we have taken the approach that we want you to see the great work we are doing in the community. We like to provide where possible some way of involving staff and others from your business in understanding and experiencing the work we do.

Colony 47 would like to be able to do something similar with your business or organisation. If you are interested please contact our Business Development Manager, Michelle Swallow on (03) 6222 1517 or email RobynMartin@colony47.com.au
