Showing We Care
At Suncorp Group, we’re committed to supporting our people to make a difference in the communities where they live and work.
#Brighter Futures
Through our Brighter Futures program, Suncorp’s group-wide employee giving program, we enable our people to support causes and programs that are important to them.
Brighter Futures
Brighter Futures allows our people to support causes they are passionate about by enabling them to give through their pay, apply to match funds they have raised and convert volunteering hours into cash for the organisation they supported.
Suncorp also offers our people a paid volunteering day each calendar year to give back to the organisations and communities that are important to them.
#Our local charity partners
Through the Brighter Futures program 10 employee run committees have been set up across Australia and New Zealand with our people donating their time to support and promote the program internally.
Each committee selects charities that reflect the causes people in their region want to support.
Suncorp provides a donation to these charities each year of their partnership, with our people encouraged to support their local charities through donations of money and time.
Giving through pay
Brighter Futures makes it easy for our people to donate money through their pay by setting up a one off or recurring donation to one of our local charity partners or a charity of their choosing.
Suncorp matches any pay-roll donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to an annual cap.
Matched Giving
Brighter Futures supports our people to raise money for one of our local charity partners, their favourite charity or community group, or an individual in need.
Suncorp matches our people’s efforts, dollar-for-dollar, up to an annual cap, helping our people to make an even bigger difference.
Volunteering
Suncorp Group offers one paid volunteer day per year so that our people can get out there, lend a hand, and make a difference to their community.
In addition to the paid volunteer day, if our people volunteer in their personal time, Suncorp matches their efforts, hour-for-dollar, up to an annual cap.
