The Bradman Foundation, a non-profit charitable trust, was established with the full support of Sir Donald Bradman AC to promote cricket as a valuable cultural and sporting force within the community.

Located in Bowral, New South Wales, where it owns and operates the Bradman Museum of Cricket, the Foundation provides the base to collect, preserve and exhibit our cricketing heritage. Today, the Foundation remains dedicated to honouring the contribution Sir Donald Bradman made to the game of cricket during his lifetime.

By creating the Bradman Museum of Cricket, the Foundation offers a living centre of cricket, which not only pays tribute to past cricketers, but also provides inspiration for the future of the game. The Foundation also regularly hosts exhibition matches on Bradman Oval and special events at the Bradman Museum.

The Bradman Foundation enjoys and encourages support from the community. Members of the Foundation are drawn from a wide range of endeavours bound by a love of cricket. Programs such as the Friends of the Bradman Museum and The Bradman Legacy are ways in which individuals or organisations can join the Foundation and help to continue the work already commenced in the name of Sir Donald Bradman AC.

Most importantly, The Bradman Foundation also offers University scholarships, sponsorship of youth cricket, annual Bradman Coaching Camps on Bradman Oval, exhibition matches and special events.

Together with Sir Donald Bradman, the Bradman Foundation commenced the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year Award, announced during the Allan Border Medal gala evening in Melbourne of each year.  Run in conjunction with Cricket Australia, the recipient, chosen as an outstanding young player of the season, is awarded a Sir Donald Bradman autographed cricket bat.  Sir Donald autographed just 99 of these bats for this special award. This program commenced in 1989 and will remain for the lifetime of the bats.

Today, the Foundation remains dedicated to honouring the contribution Sir Donald Bradman made to the game of cricket during his lifetime.

The Bradman Foundation purchased Sir Donald's former home in Glebe Street, Bowral, opposite the Museum and Oval.  The 1920's red brick bungalow was built by Sir Donald's father, George, for the Bradman family. Sir Donald lived there from 1924 to 1928, where he then ventured to Sydney to commence his cricketing career. The house was considered an important landmark and was purchased in the early 1980's when an assembly of like-minded Bowral residents recognised the need to establish a museum in honour of Sir Donald Bradman.

These landmarks - the Bradman Museum of Cricket, Bradman Oval and the house at 20 Glebe Street - form part of the Bradman Walk; a self-guided tour of Bradman's Bowral. Together they comprise a tangible link with Sir Donald's formative years.
