Australian Sports Foundation

The Australian Sports Foundation Ltd (ASF) was established by the Federal Government in 1986 to assist Australian sport and to generate funds for sport from the corporate sector and the community at large.

The ASF assists non-profit sporting organisations (such as the AMSF), schools, councils and community organisations to raise money for valid sport related projects. These might include building new club rooms, upgrading oval lighting , buying sporting equipment, funding team travel to national championships or hosting a major event.

The ASF is a non-profit public company limited by guarantee and is listed in the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989. The ASF is also listed in Division 30, section 30-90 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 which enables donations to the ASF to be eligible tax deductions.
