Side-by-side, with our partners, we lead social and cultural change through football.

We are committed to leading, acting, progressing and inspiring anti-racism, cultural safety, diversity, equity and respect. Empowering all, regardless of background or circumstances, to realise their full potential and ensure they have greater opportunities to feel seen, heard and respected.

Our Guiding Principles
Our guiding principles inform the work we do within the Collingwood Community Foundation, the behaviours we display while carrying out this work, and guides our decision making and actions. All of our community programs and partnerships have clear objectives with measurable impacts and outcomes.
ONE CLUB WITH SHARED VALUE

Our programs and partnerships offer shared values, and are embedded within the overarching strategy of the club to influence change. 

Acknowledgement of Rights

We pay respect to, and recognise our First Nations people, their traditions and culture to continue to learn and educate.

CULTURAL SAFETY

We reflect our values and take deliberate actions by delivering safe, inclusive partnerships and programs that are community-led. 

SELF DETERMINATION

We support communities by building on their strengths, rather than focusing on perceived challenges or issues. We support empowerment and engagement for all.
