Foundation Partner - ANZ

"ANZ is delighted to be working with Comic Relief to build stronger, healthier communities in and around the Asia-Pacific region. We like their bold and courageous approach, long-term vision, and support for the most vulnerable in society.

Our staff around Australia have a great commitment to their communities and are looking forward to raising awareness and funds for Comic Relief through our branches throughout October, and via our Call Centre in Melbourne on the night.

As a bank, we work to address the major social issues that involve the financial services industry - in particular financial literacy and inclusion - and provide opportunities for our staff to support causes that are important to them by offering paid volunteer leave, matching staff donations and providing funding for local teams to support local initiatives.

Our focus is on developing and supporting innovative programs, with clear aims and real outcomes that make a lasting difference to people's lives - particularly the most vulnerable in our society.

Comic Relief is a prime example of this sort of program and we are delighted to be providing seed funding as a Foundation Partner. We will also be providing in-kind support in a number of different ways:

• Fee-free business banking and corporate services
• National and local networks for promotion and fundraising via our 750+ branches around
• 500+ staff volunteers and our Melbourne Call Centre for the Night of Comic Relief.
• Introductions to suppliers to assist Comic Relief “
