How would you like to win a brand new Google Nexus 4?

Ausdroid has a brand-spanking-new Google Nexus 4 16GB to give away to one lucky winner. By the end of February, you (yes, you, the one reading this text on your screen, phone or tablet) could have in your hot little hands one of the most sought after (and hardest to get) mobiles of recent times.

So, how does one win this Nexus 4? Simple!

At the conclusion of the competition period, the Ausdroid Foundation will — completely at random — select a winning ticket, and the person whose name appears thereon will win the prize. Simple!

Of course, if you’d like more than one entry, you can have as many as you like. Want to donate $20? You’ll get 4 entries. $50? That’s 10 entries. If you’re feeling very generous, you can get 20 entries for $100. You can donate more than once, or just make one donation, or (of course, if you don’t want to be involved) you don’t have to be.

All you have to do to enter is this:

1. Head over to the Ausdroid Foundation’s Donate Now page.
2. Fill out your personal details — name, address, email and contact number
3. Select a donation amount, and use your credit card (Visa or Mastercard) to complete the donation process.
4. Shortly after donating you will receive your receipt (PDF) by email. You’ll need to keep the email receipt to validate your entry/s to the raffle, and as proof of your virtual raffle ticket/s.

Simple as that. Entries will open at 1.30pm today, and will run for two weeks. Please ensure you’ve read the terms and conditions below.

FAQs

I don’t have a credit card — how can I donate and enter the competition?

Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. If you don’t have a credit / debit card, you can still make a donation to the Ausdroid Foundation using internet banking, or at any branch of the National Australia Bank:

Account name: Ausdroid Foundation
BSB:          082-001
A/C:          151-865-634
Reference:    Your name

Once you’ve done that, please send an email to donations@ausdroid.org with your name, address, phone number and the date and amount of your donation, we’ll match it on our bank records and send you a receipt with confirmation of your entry!

What will the Ausdroid Foundation be doing with my donation?

Simple. The Foundation is known in legal terms as a necessitous circumstances fund. In English, this means that we can help people in financial distress (doesn’t matter how they got there — ill health, disability, natural disaster, house burnt down without insurance.. the list goes on). To be able to help people in financial distress, we have to have a means of alleviating that distress, and ordinarily, a necessitous circumstances fund does this by making grants to assist these people.

In order to make grants of money to help people in need, we need to have money to grant to them. Hence, the funds that the Ausdroid Foundation raises will be collected, invested, and held for the benefit of such eligible recipients as we identify. The Board of Trustees and its advisors will identify appropriate recipients through public processes and, where we can, we will assist.

Sounds neat.. are there other ways we can get involved?

Sure. The Ausdroid Foundation will be looking for businesses, groups and individuals to help us in an ongoing manner. Your business might like to sponsor the Foundation or partner with us. You might like to become a regular donor. Get in touch with us via the Foundation’s website if you think you can help out — we’d love to hear from you.
