And so far, thanks to our wonderful clients, we are at over 200,000.

We are grateful for the success we have had in the past 10 years and want to share our good fortune with people less fortunate than us. If every business in the world gave something back rather than exploit others to their advantage, the world would be a better place, and we are committed to playing our part in that.

I get very emotional every time I see news reports of people starving, not having access to water or education, being displaced because of some “political turmoil” in their country and, the one that really gets me... the sexual or monetary exploitation of children throughout the world.
Every child, no matter where they live, deserves to live a life without fear, have access to education and the things that we all take for granted – food and water. While I have been writing this, globally 300 children will have died due to malnutrition…just one is too many! But then, even with all of this support, if the human race continues creating greenhouse gases at the rate it is, then it won't matter….will it! We seem destined to destroy this planet, our world, all in the name of progress and profit.
We have embedded giving into the very fabric of our business. All our employees have selected the projects that we regularly donate to – I couldn’t do it without their support. They love it just as much as I do.
It is truly wonderful to have a mechanism that enables me and my team to do something about the inequalities in our world by leveraging the HUGE power of Small! Lets end poverty, stop hunger and save our planet.

At AVN we’re committed to helping people have better choices in life. We do this with our own clients but we also believe that it’s important to have a wider impact, helping disadvantaged people wherever they are in the world to live a better life. Knowing that someone else benefits every time we win a new client, make a coaching call or run a webinar gives our whole team a sense of purpose. It’s one of our core values that every business can be a force for good, a value that our clients buy into and share.

As educators our main thrust is to ‘make a difference’ in the lives of the young people and teachers that we work with. To have the ability to do something similar for people we will probably never meet, or work with, is hugely rewarding and empowering.

Excel Financial Advisors exists to help our clients build better futures. But there are only so many people you can meet and so many lives you can positively influence on a one-to-one basis. We want to do more. We want to help make the world a better place for those who will follow us.
Each time we make a giving impact through B1G1 it creates at least two smiles – the smile from the people who benefit from the assistance, and the smile of joy it brings to us to know the small giving we do helps make the world a better place.
Each year when we set our budgets, we create both financial and giving budgets for the business and monitor these monthly. We find when the activity based giving targets are being achieved, the financial side just looks after itself.
JOANNE FLINN and UNICORNING PTE LTD

ATELIER WEALTH
30 nights of shelter are provided to an underprivileged family in India...
... every time they settle a Home Loan for a client.
See their inspirational impact HERE
Being good at what we do wasn’t enough for us – we needed to find a higher purpose to do good business and use our business to do good in the world. Our business is all about helping Australians finance homes to put a roof over their family’s heads. Buying a home or investment property is such a privilege, whereas millions of families globally don’t have this same basic need. Rather than send out a client gift, we “pay it forward” with our Home Loans for the Homeless initiative.
