Season 2010 - Official AFL Website of the Adelaide Football Club

The Adelaide Football Club prides itself on many achievements, including the support offered to the community, in particular those who provide for underpriviledged South Australian Children.

In order to provide more attention to fundraising activities for South Australian charities, the Crows Foundation was established in May 2005. The Crows Foundation operates as a separate entity from the Adelaide Football and is overseen by a Board of Directors.

The Board boasts a diverse group of professionals, able to offer valuable input to the activites and functioning of the Crows Foundation.

The Crows Foundation has been formed to raise and distribute funds for children in South Australia who are in need (eg: sick and disadvantaged children), through health, education and welfare programs.

Equally it creates a shared focus on helping the community from the many spheres of the Club - from season ticket holders and supporters to players, administration, coterie groups and partners. The Foundation brings people together - both benefactors and beneficiaries - inside and outside the Club.

The aim of the Crows Foundation is to focus on charitable campaigns, expanding what we have achieved in the past and reaching for higher goals and targets in the future.
