The Mortgage Choice broker network, through its charitable foundation, has donated a standout $444,576 to charities across Australia in FY25.
In the last financial year 92 per cent of brokers in the group opted in to the fundraising by contributing $5 for each loan settled over $100,000. The number of brokers participating has risen in FY26 to 94 per cent.
The Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation (MCCF) also fundraises at events such as the national conference and professional development days. Parent company REA Group makes an annual contribution to MCCF – last financial year it was $150,000.
Mortgage Choice CEO Anthony Waldron said, “It’s fantastic to see the MCCF having a meaningful impact donating more than $444,000 to 78 charities throughout the financial year.
“Our Mortgage Choice brokers are incredibly passionate about making a real difference in the communities they operate in and the MCCF has raised more than $1 million for people in need around Australia since it was first established.”
For the last three years MCCF has supported registered charities focused on vulnerable groups, housing and financial literacy.
Throughout FY25, Mortgage Choice donated to charities including Dolly’s Dream; Habitat for Humanity; Subiaco Justice Centre; Catherine House; Grab Life By The Balls, Big Group Hug and Nourish Street.
Donna Campbell, MCCF committee national chairperson, said “In a year where so many people struggled with the cost-of-living crisis, giving back has never been more important. Mortgage Choice brokers are immensely proud of the impact the MCCF is making through donations and volunteering.
“Our brokers not only donated funds, but they also volunteered their time at local charities. Whether they donned an apron to cook meals for people experiencing homelessness, or prepared emergency packs for vulnerable children and families, they brought dignity and hope to people who needed it most.”
This financial year Mortgage Choice will continue to support state-based charities nominated by franchisees and will support the Starlight Children’s Foundation as its National Charity Partner.
