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

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

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 for 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.

Since its inauguration in 1991, The Adelaide Football Club has been significantly involved with the South Australian community. The main community focus of the Adelaide Football Club has been on South Australian Children in need.

In order to maintain a strong and direct focus on helping South Australian children in need, The Club decided to establish a foundation to operate separate to that of Club fundraising activities and so the Crows Foundation was formed. The Crows Foundation Board operates entirely separate to that of the Adelaide Football Club with all decisions made at bi-monthly board meetings.

The Crows Foundation was established in March 2005 and achieved much in its inaugural year.
