Colin Allen

"I believe philanthropy has the power to change the future for sick kids -  because every child deserves the chance to live a healthy life."

Colin Allen brings a global perspective to philanthropy, with experience across the UK, US and Australia. He began his career in sales and marketing with leading sports organisations, including the Oakland Raiders and IMG. A major healthcare partnership later sparked his passion for the not-for-profit sector, setting him on a path to purpose-driven philanthropy. 

Across all types of organisations, Colin has consistently and successfully found innovative ways to grow revenue - always grounded in strong relationships. In the not for profits space, Colin has led teams in the US and Australia. He believes philanthropy plays a vital role in solving complex challenges and in passionate about creating donor-centric experiences to help an organisation achieve their mission. 

Colin is a Board Director for ALLG (Australasia Leukemia & Lymphoma Group), and has been a Trustee at the Ronald McDonald House in San Francisco. He holds an undergraduate degree from Bates College and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University.
