Over $440,000 raised for 78 charities this financial year
The donations were made through the Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation (MCCF), which was established in 2022 to support vulnerable groups, housing initiatives and financial literacy programs.
“It’s fantastic to see the MCCF having a meaningful impact donating more than $444,000 to 78 charities throughout the financial year,” Mortgage Choice’s chief executive Anthony Waldron (pictured, far left) said.
“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,” he added.
The record donation was made possible by 92% of brokers opting to contribute $5 for every loan settled over $100,000, along with fundraising at major events and a $150,000 annual contribution from REA Group.
“In a year where so many people struggled with the cost-of-living crisis, giving back has never been more important,” said Donna Campbell (pictured, middle right), MCCF Committee National Chairperson.

Mortgage Choice will continue to support the Starlight Children’s Foundation as its national charity partner.
