KCGC Foundation
The Keperra Country Golf Club Foundation (the Foundation) has been established in conjunction with the Australia Sports Foundation to support and strengthen the growth and development of the Keperra Country Golf Club (the Club).
This will be achieved by securing donations and bequests and undertaking fundraising activities to enhance the golf experience at the Club and to contribute to identified and future projects beyond the Club’s annual financial capacity.
The Club has played and continues to play an important role in the lives of many members. It provides a special place to enjoy golf in a friendly social environment with a strong community culture. The Foundation seeks to build on the legacy of those who have contributed to the Club since 1931.
The Committees and memberships that followed those early years further developed and improved the Club, bringing us to the place we enjoy today. As members and supporters of the Club, we have benefited from that foresight and development. The opportunity for us now is to support further progress for the generations to follow.
Funding and prioritising significant projects at the Club can be challenging. Each year, the Club operates to service members’ needs and set aside surpluses to develop tomorrow’s Club. Through the Foundation, we are inviting our members, sponsors, and supporters to assist in providing the sound financial future the Club requires to undertake and potentially accelerate those projects.

FAQ & Forms
How do funds given to the Foundation find their way to supporting the Club?
The Club will have a range of projects it wishes to progress over time. Some of these projects may be registered with the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) to enable tax-deductible donations made in support of that individual project. These donations to the ASF (less a small administration fee) will flow through to the club. Once received, these funds will be made available to the Club to direct to specific projects.

How can I be assured that donations or bequests given to the Foundation will not be used for the Club’s normal operating expenses?
