The philanthropic arm of Australian Athletics, The Athletics Foundation is working towards a sustainable future for athletics in Australia. The Foundation focuses on increasing access to a pathway in the sport for every Australian providing funding to eligible Australian athletes, coaches, officials and clubs, through the provision of scholarships and financial support.

Throughout a partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation, The Athletics Foundation now is a fully registered charity with DGR status, which brings its own benefits including the ability to make tax deductible donations. 

The work previously done by the Foundation has assisted in helping elite athletes, and now, will also provide much needed support to all levels and all elements of athletics, schools and regional communities.

Australian Athletics operates solely on high performance funding and grants from the Australian Government, coupled with the generous support of sponsors, but there is still so much of our community that is in need of extra support to continue their own journey in our sport.

As a registered charity, individuals, entities or groups are able to make tax deductible donations to support the future of Athletics in Australia.

Australian Athletics acknowledges and pays respect to all traditional custodians of the lands of which we run, jump, throw, walk and roll throughout Australia. We pay respect to elders both past, present and emerging. We are committed to a positive future for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and to honour their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and recognise the role and value of culture.
