The spirit of giving back
The team at Airport Development Group are regular and enthusiastic supporters, charities and not-for-profit groups in the Territory.
The Community Giving Program Committee (CGPC), comprises of volunteer staff members, was setup to distribute funds to support the disadvantaged members of our community. These funds are made up of fortnightly contributions from ADG staff and matched dollar for dollar by ADG and topped up through various fundraising initiatives held throughout the year.
One of the most prominent fundraisers is the Annual Charity Day, traditionally held every August. ADG staff and stakeholders, enjoy a fun day and raise money for a chosen local charity.
