Since the Raiders Foundation was established, it has funded the following projects and programs:

• Invested in infrastructure improvements at Raiders Centre in Braddon
• Funded a regional country internship position
• Invested in digital software to showcase our history in the foyer of the Raiders Centre in Braddon
• Purchased a wheelchair transport trailer as part of the Rolling Raiders Wheelchair Rugby League program

As we continue to move forward the Raiders Foundation’s focus is to raise funds for the Raiders inaugural NRL Women’s (NRLW) team that will enter the competition in 2023. The money raised will provide financial support to our women’s program, by establishing a NRLW academy and scholarship program, purchasing required equipment and the development of coaching and associated support staff.

Other initiatives the Raiders Foundation is focused on investing in is the development of a Raiders Academy system in the ACT/regional NSW area and to deliver a community-based inclusion program.

Don Furner Senior NSW Country Scholarship Program

The Raiders Foundation launched the Don Furner Senior NSW Country Scholarship Program in 2021 to honour and acknowledge the tremendous contribution of our inaugural Head Coach who passed away on 24 February 2020.

Don Furner Senior had a strong association with Country NSW having been born in Condobolin and through his playing and coaching days in Junee and Queanbeyan. As Canberra Raiders Historian wrote in Absolutely Bleeding Green – The Raiders Story, “Don Furner Senior’s extraordinary legacy will forever have a place deep in the hearts of all Raiders fans.”

The Scholarship provides financial assistance to a development player for items such as living expenses, education and training fees, football equipment and transport costs to attend football development programs, carnivals, and camps.
