ABOUT THE RACING WA COMMUNITY FUND
From Kununurra to Albany – and all points in between – racing has a presence in all regions of Western Australia. The sport is firmly entrenched in our state’s history and cultural fabric, often serving as a highlight in the regional social calendars.
The vast and diverse communities connected to racing guides our giving, with the Racing WA Community Fund established to serve as a driving force for positive change in areas linked to racing, where our presence is deeply felt.
Through the fund, we will nurture and develop the connections between racing and the wider community by supporting programs and initiatives that align with our three pillars of connection, wellbeing and sustainability.
CONNECTION
Programs and initiatives that enhance community wellbeing and quality of life in areas closely linked to racing.
WELLBEING
Programs and initiatives that enhance the wellbeing for people and/or animals.
SUSTAINABILITY
Projects that promote sustainability and minimise environmental impacts
