FlyPelican | Corporate Giving Policy

Supporting the communities we connect

As a Newcastle-based regional airline, FlyPelican values the communities in which our passengers and employees live and work. Our corporate giving program aims to support organisations and initiatives that make a positive difference.

Our approach to giving

We consider requests from charitable, community and cultural organisations, with a focus on communities we serve or expect to serve, and places where our employees live and work. We seek to support initiatives that contribute to community wellbeing, cultural and economic vitality, and quality of life.

Where we focus our support

Health & medical needs

Supporting health and human services, including initiatives that improve access to care and respond to medical or emergency needs, particularly in regional NSW.

Social & community services

Helping community organisations, charitable initiatives and worthwhile causes make a meaningful difference through eligible in-kind air transportation support.

Arts & culture

Encouraging arts education, cultural participation and the organisations that enrich regional communities.

Community wellbeing

Considering civic, environmental and community initiatives that strengthen the places we connect.

Giving guidelines

FlyPelican considers requests for in-kind air transportation and, for selected charity or community events, flight vouchers that organisers may use for approved fundraising activities, such as raffles or auctions. As resources are limited, support is generally provided on a one-time basis. We aim to balance contributions across a range of eligible organisations and causes.

All requests are considered individually. Submitting an application does not guarantee support.

Selected community events

Flight vouchers for charity & community fundraising

FlyPelican is proud to support selected charity and community events by providing flight vouchers to assist with fundraising. Where approved, vouchers may be offered as raffle prizes or auction items to help organisers raise funds for worthwhile local causes.

Flight vouchers are offered at FlyPelican's discretion and are subject to availability, the conditions specified on the voucher and our Conditions of Carriage. Not all requests can be accommodated, and a voucher donation is not guaranteed.

Requests we do not support

Under the current Corporate Giving Policy, FlyPelican does not provide support for the following:

  • Organisations that unlawfully discriminate
  • Religious or political organisations
  • Organisations primarily seeking to influence legislation
  • Individual requests
  • Team events
  • General commercial incentive prizes (excluding approved charity or community fundraising flight vouchers)
  • Organisations raising funds for other non-profits
  • General online auctions (excluding specifically approved charity or community fundraising events)
  • Scholarships
  • Capital projects
  • Multi-year commitments or automatically renewed grants
  • General operating expenses
  • Loans or grants to individuals or private businesses

How to apply

Corporate giving requests can be submitted by email at any time during the year. Please submit your request at least six weeks before your event or promotional-material deadline.

To help our team assess your request, we suggest including your organisation's name, the purpose of your initiative, the support requested (including whether a flight voucher is sought), relevant dates, how the voucher would be used and the communities that would benefit.
