To provide the sound financial base for Surf Life Saving now, and into the future.

Surf Life Saving has a proud tradition of saving lives for over 100 years. Since 1907, surf lifesavers have volunteered their time and effort to provide a dedicated lifesaving service around the country. In the early 1990’s Surf Life Saving Queensland saw the need to develop a separate fundraising body to allow the volunteer Surf Lifesavers to focus on core operations, services and outcomes on the beach. The initial focus of the foundation were primarily appeals and donor communications, fundraising events and the management of a QLD based lottery program. Today, the Foundation is a far more sophisticated body responsible for core fundraising programs nationally and contracted events, beneficiary events and some state specific activities.
