The Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation (MCCF) has announced it has raised over $360,000 for Australian charities over FY24. This includes $96,000 raised for the MCCF national charity partner, Dolly’s Dream, and over $264,000 raised for more than 50 local charities.
The MCCF was established in 2022 and is managed by a committee of franchise owners and backed by REA Group. Donations are raised through voluntary contributions from Mortgage Choice brokers, who contribute $5 to the Foundation for each loan written over $100,000.
Over FY24, 92% of brokers in the Mortgage Choice network opted in to contribute to the MCCF – up from 83% in FY23.
Anthony Waldron, CEO of Mortgage Choice said, “We are so proud of the impact the Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation is having on the most vulnerable members of our communities. Our committee members have a strong desire to make a difference, bringing awareness to national and local charities, and rallying our network behind important causes. Not only do most of our brokers donate $5 for every loan they write, but many of them also generously donate their time volunteering with local charities.”
In FY24, Mortgage Choice announced Dolly’s Dream as its national charity partner. Dolly’s Dream is an organisation committed to changing the culture of bullying through education and direct support to young people and families.
Sally Sweeney, Head of Dolly’s Dream said, “The Dolly’s Dream partnership with the Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation is truly incredible. Since 2023, we have achieved so much together and raised over $96,000. This partnership is helping to raise awareness of our anti-bullying programs, workshops and initiatives within the local community. Every act of kindness, every conversation and every effort made by the Mortgage Choice team truly counts in our movement to end bullying. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
Over FY24, Mortgage Choice brokers supported more than 50 local charities around Australia including: Big Group Hug; the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life; Giant Steps; Habitat for Humanity; LifeBlood; Starlight Children’s Foundation and St Mary’s House of Welcome.
Donna Campbell, MCCF Committee National Chairperson said, “I believe it is great for small business owners to give back to the community. By volunteering time to help those less fortunate you gain a new perspective and a strong sense of purpose."
“Our Victorian franchisees have been volunteering at St Marys House of Welcome for several years, cooking BBQs for those in need. It’s so rewarding to hear the stories of the people who rely on St Marys and to see our impact firsthand. These experiences remind me how lucky we are to have food to eat and somewhere warm to sleep without struggles.”
In FY25, Mortgage Choice will continue to support Dolly’s Dream as its national charity partner and state-based charities nominated by Mortgage Choice franchisees.
