COMMUNITY

The Upstream Foundation was started to allow us to give something back to the community.

Supporting our local and global community is more than just good corporate citizenship. It’s part of our culture and something we enjoy. To be more effective and make a more significant impact, we established the Upstream Foundation, a registered, non-for profit foundation. The Foundation aims to provide opportunity for staff to get involved in community projects, as well as actively raising funds through events to distribute to various beneficiaries. Upstream covers all costs associated with the Foundation, allowing 100% of all funds raised to be distributed.

 

The Upstream 50km Challenge

The foundations biggest event is the annual Upstream 50km Challenge. A 50km run/walk from Docklands to Donvale along the picturesque Yarra River. The event raises funds for both local & international projects including Camp Quality, Leukaemia Foundation, and Beyond Blue. Over the past four years, the event has seen over 1,100 participants take part and raise over half a million dollars.
