Where does your donation go?

The APCO Foundation raises funds in a variety of ways from our four major annual events (the Geelong Wine Walk, Race for a Reason, Giving Day, and Golfing for Good) to everyday in-store giving through donation boxes, 22c Twosdays coffee donations, Chill Water and APCO Oil sales, and Foundation Lolly Bags. Our generous trade partners also contribute through our Kindness Champs program and partnerships, and APCO staff can give directly through the Kindness Club workplace giving program. We're also a designated donation partner for Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme.

All funds raised are distributed every month through our volunteer board of directors. We welcome applications from both organisations and individuals, simply complete our online application form or reach out to us directly at foundation@apco.com.au.

We're a local, independent not-for-profit, guided by a passionate board of volunteers who each bring unique skills and a genuine understanding of the challenges facing our communities. Every application is carefully reviewed by the board, and we establish proof of need before any funds are approved and allocated. With 90 cents of every dollar going directly back into local APCO communities, you can trust that your support is making a real difference.
