A Shared Legacy and Commitment to Impact

Northwest Funds’ support as Presenting Partner carries particular significance.

From the earliest foundations of the Club, Peter contributed to shaping its structure, vision, and long-term direction, laying the groundwork for the success and culture that continue to define Sydney FC both on and off the field.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for young people and individuals facing barriers to participation. Northwest Funds’ leadership and generosity will help expand the reach and impact of the Sydney FC Foundation’s transformative programs.

Through this partnership, Northwest Funds is helping ensure more young people can access inclusive sport, develop confidence, and build brighter futures through football.
