ABOUT THE SYDNEY SWANS FOUNDATION

In 2005, we heard those iconic words: “Leo Barry, you star!” 

That Premiership win didn't just mark a historic moment for the Sydney Swans -  it sparked the beginning of a lifelong ambition. That same year, the Sydney Swans Foundation was born. 

Now, 20 years on, the Foundation continues to shape the next generation of red and white – proudly supporting the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and future stars of our game. 

Supported by dedicated donors and members, the Foundation drives the club’s initiatives and secures its future.

HERITAGE

For the first time, the rich history of the Sydney Swans is celebrated under one roof, with the grand unveiling of the Peter Weinert Museum.

Located at the Sellers & Colless Centre – Sydney Swans HQ in Moore Park – the museum is named in honour of Peter Weinert, a Sydney Swans Life Member and former president, whose contributions to the club have been immeasurable.

The Peter Weinert Museum was proudly funded in partnership with the Sydney Swans Foundation.

AFLW

The Sydney Swans Foundation contributes to the overall success of Sydney’s women’s team, both on and off the field, by providing essential funding to attract and retain talented AFLW players.
