While you donate all of yourself to the charity of your choice for a year i.e. this is a full time job, the Foundation pay you a salary of up to $50,000 and cover $25,000 in related expenses.

To be the successful applicant, you’ll have to be willing to give everything you’ve got - heart, brain, determination and all the rest – to change the world for the better.

Your nomination should prove that you have the relevant, skills, knowledge and qualities to make a difference to your nominated charity/non-profit organisation. You will need to clearly define your goals for the year and how you will measure your success in achieving these.

The vision of the Vodafone Australia Foundation is to mobilise 1 million people who care about their community and environment to actually do something about it.

Your proposal will need support this vision and should be reflective of the number of people mobilised into taking action to help those in need- for instance, through volunteering or donating money.

Applications close at 6pm EDST on Friday 6 February 2009.
