Inaugural Foundation Member

Be there from the beginning.

The Inaugural Foundation Member proposition is a once-only opportunity associated with the establishment of the Illawarra Hawks Foundation in 2026.

The contribution of $2,026 commemorates the Foundation's inaugural year and recognises those individuals, families and organisations prepared to support the Foundation from the very beginning.

Proposition

Every Foundation has a beginning. Only one group can say they were there from the start.

By contributing $2,026, Inaugural Foundation Members become part of the Foundation's establishment story and help create the platform from which its future community impact will grow.

Recognition

Inaugural Foundation Members could receive:

• permanent recognition as an Inaugural Foundation Member;
• inclusion on the Foundation's permanent Inaugural Foundation Members Honour Roll;
• recognition on the Foundation website;
• personalised or individually numbered inaugural certificate;
• invitation to an inaugural Foundation recognition event;
• regular Foundation impact reporting;
• invitations to selected Foundation activities; and
• permanent association with the Foundation's establishment year.

Ongoing Membership

The $2,026 contribution applies only to the Foundation’s inaugural year, recognising those supporters who were there from the beginning. From the following year, Inaugural Foundation Members will be invited to continue their support through Club 79, transitioning to an annual contribution of $1,979. Their status as an Inaugural Foundation Member will remain permanently recognised, while their ongoing Club 79 membership provides a meaningful way to continue supporting the Foundation and the community impact they helped establish.
