The APCO Foundation
Becoming an APCO Retail Partner means you’re becoming a part of something much larger than yourself.
Our Retail Partners are encouraged to immerse themselves in their community and connect with customers on a personal level, helping to develop and build customer loyalty by being actively involved and interested in the local environment.
As part of this ongoing involvement in our local communities, all Retail Partners must also commit to participating in the APCO Foundation initiative.
The APCO Foundation was established in 2013 as a result of the APCO family realising they could make a real difference in the communities around them by combining the strength of their stores to raise money. It runs as a local, autonomous not-for-profit organisation with a volunteer board of directors who all have different strengths and backgrounds, and have an understanding of the issues facing local communities.

Our Goal.
With a goal to win the hearts and minds of APCO customers, retail partners, staff and to give back to the broader APCO community, the Foundation mission is as follows:
“APCO Foundation will, as a group (involving Support Office Staff, Retail Partners and their employees) volunteer and endeavour to raise money to enable changes in our community in the areas of Health, Poverty, Education, Disaster Relief and Health Crises”.
The APCO Foundation helps those in need in the communities around our stores all over Victoria and into NSW.
Every store has a grant to give to a project, family or organisation that they believe needs support. The APCO Foundation board also receives applications from individuals, families, projects and charities in local areas.
