Community and sponsorship

Our community is very important to us.

In 2020, the Fosters Group Trust was established, to ensure we make meaningful contributions to support our local communities.

The Foster Group Trust owns 20% of the Foster Group and was established to enable Fosters to actively make a difference by giving back to our community. Through the Trust we have created the following initiatives:

Community-Support-Icon

The Foster 500

As a collective of over 200 people, we have a wide-reaching network. Recognising that our people each operate in their own community, every year we give every employee the opportunity to sponsor an initiative within their community up to $500.

Through the Foster500, we have been able to contribute to numerous community initiatives and help many people.

PLEASE NOTE: organisations cannot apply to Fosters for Foster500 support, it is up to each individual Fosters employee as to how they give away their $500.
