Chris Acret, Smartline’s managing director, said the success of the group’s fundraising efforts was founded by a single franchisee back in 2002 and was now embraced strongly by its network of over 200 franchisees.
The group’s charity efforts work by generating a donation from every loan settled.
“The idea was to generate a charitable donation of $4 from every loan that was settled, but that donation soon increased to $10 per loan,” Mr Acret said.
According to Mr Acret, each state has its own charity fund and committee to administer the funds with the money raised dedicated to local charities.
“It’s such a marvellous way to build on and further enhance the relationships we have with our clients – which is an integral part of how we run our business.”
