We’re focused on making a positive social impact through partnerships with charities, volunteering, workplace giving and by supporting the communities where our customers live and work.
We’ve partnered with the Foyer Foundation to help young Australian’s experiencing disadvantage have a pathway to stable housing, education, training and employment.
AFG has been a proud supporter and sponsor of Numero for over 17 years, and the primary sponsor of the AFG Interschool Numero® Challenge, a mathematically based competition running in Australian primary schools since 1998.
The Challenge seeks to lift numeracy and mathematical skills in primary aged children across the state by boosting maths ability, assist children in achieving better results in mental computation testing, increase children’s confidence and encourage tactical thinking.

Every new loan settled by Thinktank* contributes to socially responsible outcomes by supporting a wide range of charities. Since 2017, Thinktank has set aside $100 from every loan settled for charitable giving. Of that $100 per loan, $75 is donated to charities selected by team members, with a further $25 going into special situations funds to support those in need during emergencies and disasters.
To boost charitable giving further, for Christmas 2024, Thinktank donated an additional $100 on behalf of brokers to their chosen charities instead of giving hampers.
As a result of these initiatives, in 2024, Thinktank donated more than $250,000 to 34 different charities, including Good Return, which aims to empower people to break the cycle of poverty, and Foodbank, which feeds people in need.
Thinktank CEO Jonathan Street said charitable giving was embedded in Thinktank’s ethos and approach to business. “We’re about people, not just transactions. As a business, we strongly believe in helping those in need – contributing to the improvement and enrichment of the lives of others and the communities in which we live,” he said.
*AFG owns 31.99 per cent of shares in Thinktank, as at July 2024.
