Viterra supports regional communities through sponsoring and assisting a range of grower groups, local community organisations and charities.

Our involvement in the grower community includes supporting the MacKillop Farm Management Group (MFMG), South Australian Durum Growers Association (SADGA), the HART Field Day Site Group, Upper North Farming Systems (UNFS), Northern Sustainable Soils (NSS), Buckleboo Farm Improvement Group (BFIG), Ag Innovation & Research Eyre Peninsuls (AIR EP), and Mid-North High Rainfall Zone grower group.

Viterra will consider sponsorship and donation requests that support the sustainability of the communities and industries in which we operate. Please send all relevant information to sponsorships@viterra.com. Please provide a reasonable timeframe for requests to be considered.

In most cases, sponsorships which include any of the following will not be considered:

activities that should be the responsibility, for the most part, of government at any level
are promoted by political or religious organisations, or that are religious or political in nature
are for other charities, foundations or general appeals and lotteries
are for individuals, including Viterra employees
are run by organisations or groups who discriminate or limit membership based on race, gender, beliefs, class or cultural considerations.

Country connect programme

In early 2024 Viterra announced a two-year partnership with The Adelaide Crows Football Club, aimed at supporting regional communities through a series of events and initiatives.

Our partnership is centred on past and present Crows AFL and AFLW players travelling to regional areas to participate in local football club match days, support non-match day events and host junior coaching clinics.

A number of Crows Country memberships are also available to registered event attendees on a first-come, first-served basis.

This presence by the Crows in the regions will provide a fantastic platform for junior footballers to connect and learn from elite players.

We are proud to show our support for the next generation of AFL and AFLW players through this partnership.
