CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
More than a
responsibility,
it’s who we are
We don’t just check boxes for the
environment and communities we work in.
We’re building environmental and social considerations into our day to day.
We are using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to inform and improve our environmental and social impact.
Four key SDGs that are particularly relevant to our business.

PRINCIPLE PARTNERS
Community Support 

We’re dedicated to more than just sustainability; we’re committed to our community as well. As our business has grown, so has our investment in the community. We partner with various not-for-profit organisations and provide a paid Volunteering Day, allowing our employees to give back and make a meaningful difference.

It’s the Little Things Community
We’re proud to partner with It’s the Little Things Community (ITLTC), a charity providing meals and acts of kindness to the vulnerable, displaced and disadvantaged in our community to improve their social interaction and provide a renewed sense of purpose.
Our employees volunteer once a month in the ITLTC kitchen, supporting food preparation and cooking fresh ready-made meals for distribution.
Raise Foundation
Since 2018, we have partnered with Raise Foundation, a charity dedicated to fostering a thriving community through mentoring programs across Australia.
We actively support the expansion of their programs in Melbourne, enabling them to offer more opportunities to more students. We also host an annual Career Workshop Excursion, providing mentees with firsthand experience of a real workplace and the potential career paths they could pursue.
Piccole Aucelle Orphanage
Launching in 2024, our partnership with Piccole Aucelle Orphanage was a natural extension of our social impact initiatives as we expanded them to include our Cebu office. Piccole Aucelle Orphanage is dedicated to providing care, shelter, and education to children in need, helping them build brighter futures. During our visits, we were deeply moved by the commitment of their staff and the resilience of the children, which is why this partnership aligns perfectly with our company’s values.
A message from our partners
“It’s the Little Things Community are proud to have NOW Finance as our primary corporate partner. Their support has been instrumental in helping us provide amazing meals and other acts of kindness to the vulnerable, displaced, and disadvantaged members of our community. Together, we are making a meaningful impact and takes us one step closer to building a better community!”
“At Raise, we are immensely grateful for our longstanding partnership with NOW Finance, whose unwavering support over the years—especially through challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic—demonstrates their commitment to our shared mission of empowering young people. NOW Finance’s annual contributions have directly supported our mentoring programs, helping us to extend our reach and impact. Their consistent generosity, even when in-person events were on hold, highlights a true alignment with Raise’s values and dedication to making a lasting, positive difference in the lives of young Australians.”
