The Adelaide Crows Foundation has released its annual Community Impact Report which details the positive impact of the Club’s community programs in 2025.

The Foundation, which is celebrating 20 years of using sport to empower South Australian children less fortunate, engaged a record 24,000 children last year, while also supporting close to 80 community organisations. 

Committed to creating meaningful, lasting change for South Australian children in need, the Foundation delivers high-quality, evidence-based programs that address contemporary challenges.

Last year saw more than $1 million invested into its services which include the popular STEMFooty program, the tailored, culturally inclusive Crows on Country, the longstanding Crows Care program and mental health program Open Parachute, which is delivered in partnership with the Sebastian Foundation.  

Adelaide Crows Foundation Chairperson Kate Thiele said she was proud of how the Foundation’s work has grown from a community vision into a trusted evidence-based organisation supporting children, young people and communities across South Australia. 

“As we reflect on another incredibly successful year, we are proud to see the positive impact our programs have had on the lives of so many children and youth,” she said. 

“From metropolitan classrooms to remote communities on the Lands, equity and access remain central to our approach.

“We continue to focus on mental health, education, inclusion and cultural empowerment, delivering programs that provide sustained meaningful engagement.

“Our programs give young people the skills, confidence and support to navigate real challenges whether through wellbeing education, STEM learning, cultural pathways or practical community support. 

“As the community arm of the Adelaide Football Club, we are strengthened by the Club’s commitment to being more than a football organisation and, as we look ahead, our commitment remains the same, to use the power of football to inspire, educate and uplift.”
