Who we are
‘The Fay Foundation’
“Create the smile of sport”
Two brothers with the idea and a dream
Shaun Fay – Co-Founder
With a lifelong love of sport, nature, travel, and a deep desire to help others, I’ve always believed in using what you have to make a difference.
After years of working in hospitality and learning the art of connection and creating a smile in a person, I have recently felt a strong drive to do something more meaningful with my life. The Fay Foundation is my way of turning that feeling into action using my life experience to give back, uplift communities, and bring joy where it’s most needed.
The time feels right to step into the world of charity, and this mission is close to my heart.
“never limit yourself to the realm of someone else possibilities ”
– Shaun Fay
Dr. Jimmy Fay – Co-Founder
As a chiropractor, coach, and lifelong lover of sport, I’ve seen firsthand how movement can heal, connect, and transform lives.
When Shaun came to me with the idea of starting a charity to help kids access sports, its was an instant yes! Sport was a big part of our youth, playing cricket in the back yard until the sunset, kicking the footy around and just being obsesssed with watch AFL on tv. And now, through The Fay Foundation, we’re passing that on to kids and communities who need it most.
This isn’t just about boots and balls. It’s about hope, laughter, and giving every child the chance to feel like they matter.
“When we put something good into the world, it always ripples further than we realise.”
– Dr. Jimmy Fay
How You Can Help
It doesn’t take much to make a big difference.
By donating your pre-loved sporting goods—or giving a small (or large) financial contribution—you’re not just helping reduce landfill. You’re helping give equipment a second life, putting smiles on faces, and fuelling the spirit of community, movement, and fun.
We’re committed to transparency in how every dollar is spent. And we love showing you where your gear ends up—follow us on social media to see the joy your donations create in real time.

Bringing the Joy of Sport to Every Corner of the Pacific
At the Fay Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to play, connect, and grow through sport—no matter where they live.
We collect second-hand sporting equipment from across Australia and deliver it to remote and under-resourced communities throughout the Pacific Islands and rural Australia. From kids’ footy boots to cricket bats, soccer balls to chess boards—if it brings joy and connection, we’ll find it a new home.
Our mission starts with children, especially those aged 5–14, but extends to teens and adults alike. While we focus on Soccer, Cricket, AFL, and NRL, we’re open to expanding into any game that builds teamwork, fun, and belonging—from chess to backyard cricket.
