Ampol Foundation

Supporting our community

Powering better journeys for all Australians

The Ampol Foundation, established in 2019, is the vehicle through which we deliver our corporate social responsibility activities. Over the past five years, we have invested $18 million in initiatives that support our mission and make a lasting positive impact.

As a proud and independent Australian company, we are committed to being a positive contributor to communities and using our network and employee base to improve the lives of all Australians. We are also committed to delivering our company purpose, Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow.

The focus of the Ampol Foundation is guided by two pillars: youth education and safety. As Australia’s leading transport fuels provider that exists in hundreds of communities across the country, we are passionate about keeping our people and customers safe. We are also dedicated to improving access to education amongst disadvantaged youth and believe that investment in this area has a long-lasting impact on society.

To support our strategy, we continue to partner with The Smith Family and Surf Life Saving Australia along with our longstanding partnerships with the Clontarf Foundation, the Stars Foundation, Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service and national Ampol Best All Rounder Award program.

Supporting Literacy Through Dymocks Children's Charities
In partnership with Dymocks Children’s Charities, we proudly supported four schools near our operations with Library Regeneration programs, delivering brand-new books to help revitalise their libraries. This initiative is part of the Ampol Foundation’s “Your Town” Grant Program, aligned with our commitment to youth education and development. With one in three children in Australia unable to read proficiently, access to quality books can lead to improved educational outcomes, better health, and brighter futures. We’re proud to help empower young Australians through the gift of reading.
Ampol Little Origin 2025 Wrap-up
Twelve schools, six games, three states, and one incredible journey - Ampol Little Origin 2025 has officially wrapped up! This season brought unforgettable experiences to students across NSW, QLD, and WA. Participating schools enjoyed exclusive NRL League Stars clinics, showcased their skills at half-time during Ampol State of Origin matches, and each received a $5,000 community grant. The program not only celebrated emerging rugby league talent but also made a meaningful impact on local sports development and community engagement.
Centre of Inspired Futures: Cowboys House
We are excited to be the presenting partner of the new Centre of Inspired Futures at NRL Cowboys House, a transformative space designed to support senior students in their transition to employment or further education. This important hub enables Career Transition Officers to guide students on their future pathways. The partnership is made possible through the Ampol Foundation, whose two key focus areas are youth education and development and community safety and wellbeing.
Indigenous round reveal
We are proud to to continue supporting the powerful partnership between our 2 partners - the Clontarf Foundation and Red Bull Ampol Racing. As part of the 2025 Darwin Triple Crown Indigenous Round, students from Taminmin's Clontarf Academy designed this year’s breathtaking Indigenous liveries. Taminmin students had the unique opportunity to attend the race weekend, presenting the artwork in person. Christopher Brumby, the 18-year-old artist behind the design, created a one-off live mural at the back of the garage further showcasing his skills and talent.
National volunteering week at Ampol
Ampol staff generously gave their time during National Volunteering Week, participating in meaningful activities with RSPCA as part of their Corporate Experience Day. They exercised and played with dogs, cleaned and disinfected kennels, and cared for cats in the cattery. The day also included a visit to the wildlife hospital, where the team met a range of animals including guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, and more. Through paid volunteering leave, employees actively support community organisations throughout the year - including regular work with the RSPCA and a range of our other charities partners.
