Thinktank provides meaningful donations
At the close of 2024, Thinktank Property Finance chose to replace traditional broker gifts with $100 donations to charities in need. Brokers were invited to select from four Christmas appeals – Salvation Army, Foodbank, RSPCA, and Variety – allowing them to contribute to causes they care about.
Thinktank also donated $75 for every settled deal to charities (selected by its team members) with a further $25 going into a special situations fund to support those in need when emergencies and disasters occur. In total, in 2024, Thinktank donated over $250,000 to 34 charities and continues to work with key partners like Good Return, Foodbank, and Pass It On Clothing.
CEO Jonathan Street said: “Charitable giving is part of the fabric of who we are as a business. It links very clearly to our values and our ethos: Into people. Not just transactions. We believe strongly in helping those in need and contributing to the improvement and enrichment of the lives of the people around us and the communities in which we live.”
Industry helps Safe Haven achieve $5k target through the $10 Challenge
Over Christmas, brokers rallied behind Safe Haven’s $10 Challenge, helping the charity reach its $5,000 fundraising goal to support women fleeing domestic violence.
The initiative, led by broker and Safe Haven founder Jaeneen Cunningham, asked donors to post a photo holding $10 on social media, tag @safehavencommunity, and challenge others to join.
The funds raised provided grocery gift cards for women in crisis, ensuring they could buy essentials during the festive season. Cunningham said: “We want to give these women more than just a roof over their heads. We aim to create a supportive community where women can feel safe, find solace, and begin to heal.
“Ten dollars may not seem like much, but when thousands of people contribute, it makes a big difference. It’s the ripple effect. Many hands make light work.”
