Brokers exceed target in community fundraiser

7 minute read

Loan Market Group brokers have raised valuable funds to support Australians who are in desperate need of help.

Brokers across Loan Market Group have gone above and beyond in their latest community fundraising effort, raising more than $100,000 in just three months to support Australians doing it tough.

The funds are already making a tangible impact through two major campaigns led by the Share Tomorrow Foundation – an organisation focused on providing safety, dignity, and hope to those in need.

LMG brokers, Ray White network members, and the wider broker community collectively raised over $50,000 for the foundation’s 20 by 30 campaign, which aimed to deliver 20 fully furnished Sanctuary Homes for families escaping domestic violence by 30 June.

 
 

Thanks to their efforts, the foundation not only met but exceeded the target, delivering 24 homes by the end of the campaign.

One of the brokers involved, Samantha Barnett, director of Loan Market Scenic, said it was a moving experience.

“I recently had the privilege of setting up a Sanctuary Home for a mother and her children. It wasn’t just a safe place, it was the first time they’d been able to live together in over a year,” she said.

“The women’s shelter they had been staying in couldn’t accommodate boys over the age of 16, so they had been separated. This home didn’t just provide safety, it united a family back together.”

Carly Lloyd, chair of the Share Tomorrow Foundation, said the support from LMG brokers had been invaluable.

“These homes are more than just a roof over someone’s head – they’re a chance to feel safe, start fresh and rebuild with dignity,” she said.

“Brokers have shown that when they get behind something meaningful, they go all in. Share Tomorrow is about helping them channel that care into real, lasting impact.”

Wild West Give Fest

Lloyd also acknowledged the impact of fundraising efforts at LMG’s Growth Summit, where the Wild West GiveFest raised more than $42,000 to support communities affected by Cyclone Alfred.

“That initial surge of generosity has continued to grow, with brokers leading local fundraisers, setting up donation pages and involving their customers and communities,” said Lloyd.

“The Share Tomorrow Foundation will continue to support campaigns led by brokers and powered by purpose, with toolkits and partnerships designed to make giving back easier and more effective.”
