Social Investment
At Foresters Community Finance we offer social investment products that provide sound, transparent investment choices for a growing community of Australians who seek a positive financial return on their investments while maximizing their social return.
Our investment products focus on supporting communities across Australia to address a diverse range of challenging social issues.
Currently, you can choose to invest in your community through the Community Investment Fund, or make a donation through the Gift Fund.
