Community partnerships
Momentum community partnership program
Our Momentum Partners are multi-year community partnerships between RAA and organisations that are driving change in South Australia.
We’re partnered with Foodbank, CFS Foundation, Tjindu Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctor Service of South Australia and Northern Territory.
Our major community partnership program provides South Australian organisations with financial contributions over a multi-year period, so they can deliver dedicated projects that benefit the community.
We support projects that align with our community values:
- Community safety (including road safety)
- Supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable South Australians
- Celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and reconciliation activities
- Reducing inequalities in the community
- Young people development and education
- Environmental sustainability
- Innovation
CFS Foundation
We’ve partnered with the CFS Foundation to support CFS volunteers who have been physically, mentally or financially injured in the line of duty.
The SA Country Fire Service (CFS) provide a vital road crash and fire response service across South Australia.
We’re also funding upgrades to vital road crash training equipment to support the growing number of CFS volunteers requiring this life-saving training right across the state.

Tjindu Foundation
We’ve partnered with the Tjindu Foundation to help impart practical life skills and confidence on our state’s future leaders through education and football programs.
The Tjindu foundation is a not-for-profit that drives positive outcomes for Aboriginal children and young people in South Australia. They achieve this through education, cultural engagement programs and an Aboriginal AFL Academy.
“What we want our young people to know is that anything is possible. They get to write their own stories. We want them to think about is the what-if’s – and provide them with experiences and opportunities they wouldn’t get to experience otherwise.” – Tjindu Foundation General Manager Kellie Graves.
How the AFL academy works
Leveraging the appeal of sport, specifically AFL, Tjindu facilitate a specialised cultural and curriculum- based program that carters to the interests and learning needs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in years 10-12.
The program invites a squad of 80 students into the Academy, where they attend a once-per-week education, cultural and football/ fitness training day.
Students are mentored and complete a Certificate II or III in Sport Coaching or undertake Aboriginal Studies.
Foodbank
We’ve partnered with Foodbank SA, the largest food relief organisation in South Australia, to help provide food relief to over 135,000 South Australians every month.
We’ve extended our support to provide a new Mobile Food Hub for the Eyre Peninsula and Mid North – delivering food relief for regional communities every week, as well as in the event of a natural disaster.
Royal Flying Doctor Service
When a vehicle crash happens on a remote South Australian road, the Royal Flying Doctor Service provides emergency aeromedical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – a critical service to people living in and visiting our state’s most far-reaching corners.
We’ve partnered with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of South Australia and Northern Territory (RFDS SA/NT) to fund their aeromedical simulator, used for clinical education and training as well as community engagement and activations.
