The First 18

We invite all Carlton friends to join us and give a gift that will make a truly remarkable difference. Leave your legacy. Start a conversation about the impact your gift could make. Today.

My family and I are part of the First 18 because we want to contribute to securing the long-term, multigenerational success of the club we love. Our hope is that future generations of our family are also passionate Blues supporters, and that they get to support a Carlton that is strong, stable, and successful.

Supporting the Carlton Football Club Foundation is more than simply giving—it’s about being part of something that truly matters. For us, it’s deeply personal. It’s about standing behind everything we love about this club: the pursuit of excellence on the field, the creation of world-class facilities, the power to make a real difference in people’s lives, and the responsibility to honour a proud and enduring heritage. When we give, we’re not just making a donation—we’re helping build futures. We’re supporting young athletes chasing their dreams, strengthening communities, and ensuring that the spirit of Carlton lives on for generations to come. And in doing so, we feel it too—that sense of purpose, of connection, of pride. Knowing that we are playing even a small role in something bigger than ourselves is incredibly powerful. Because in the end, supporting the Carlton Foundation isn’t just about contribution—it’s about legacy
