Colin Smith Memorial Fund (CSMF) — supporting those who need it most.

The CSMF is a small New Zealand Registered Charitable Trust which surfaced in the mid 1960’s. It was created to promote and assist in the relief of poverty by the encouragement of thrift in the community. The Trust is managed by three Trustees, a Chair, Secretary and a Treasurer. Each Trustee is experienced in their respective position ensuring that the Trust is managed appropriately and prudently.

The Trust’s key objective is to invest its funds wisely enabling it to support New Zealand organisations that offer financial support and educate the public in the wise use of money.

As John C. Maxwell said, “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.”
