The Football Foundation Queensland has been established to make football in Queensland as inclusive and accessible as possible.
The mission of the Football Foundation Queensland is to provide opportunities, create community connections and support the growth of football participation from grassroots, all across Queensland.
As a not-for-profit organisation, Football Queensland will further develop and strengthen football across the state through donations.
For football to truly excel in Queensland, we must strengthen these five important pillars:
We encourage all Queenslanders who care about our game to consider making a tax-deductible donation to help the development of football in our state.
The simplest way to support the Football Foundation is by making a donation via the Football Foundation Queensland ASF page. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
EVERY INCOME
The Football Foundation Queensland aims to provide children from low-income families in Queensland with opportunities to pursue their football dreams, regardless of affordability and socio-economic status.
Donations will go towards supporting talented young footballers who are unable to afford registration fees.
This will help reduce the loss of talented young players to other sports and contribute to the increased quality of football across our state.
EVERY GENDER
The Football Foundation Queensland aims to provide all females in football with the support and avenues to excel, both on and off the field.
Donations will help fund the delivery of innovative programs, contributing to the growth and development of female players, coaches and referees in Queensland.
This includes female coach and referee education, the development of suitable playing facilities for female teams and improving player pathways for women and girls.
EVERY ABILITY
The Football Foundation Queensland aims to make football more accessible to more young footballers and families living with physical and/or intellectual and development disabilities.
Donations will assist Football Queensland’s support of the Brisbane Paralympic Football Program, Powerchair Football and Queensland Deaf Futsal.
Donations will also help support young Pararoo talents, assisting players’ transition to elite pathways through improvements in specialised coaching, facilities and social inclusion programs.
EVERY BACKGROUND
The Football Foundation Queensland aims to connect with families and communities from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD), refugee and migrant backgrounds in Queensland.
Donations will assist in delivering more inclusive football programs, eliminating the barriers to participation and promoting football as the sport of choice for all Queenslanders.
The Football Foundation Queensland will work with local schools, community groups and not-for-profit organisations to introduce football to newly-arrived Queenslanders through events and weekly programs.
EVERY INDIGENOUS QUEENSLANDER
The Football Foundation Queensland is committed to ensuring Indigenous people and communities have the opportunity to be involved in all levels of the game.
Donations will help fund our Indigenous football program, encouraging and strongly supporting Indigenous Queenslanders to participate as players, coaches, referees and administrators.
Donations will also support our work with Reconciliation Australia in developing a Reconciliation Action Plan for football in Queensland.
