AFA Foundation announces partnership with life insurers

On Tuesday, AFA Foundation chair Olivia Sarah-Le Lacheur said the partnership with AIA Australia and OnePath Life will provide additional support for charities that assist Australians in need.

“We thank AIA Australia and OnePath Life for partnering with us to help improve the lives of Australians who are doing it tough,” Ms Sarah-Le Lacheur said.

“Their contributions to the AFA Foundation will allow us to broaden and strengthen our charitable giving efforts.”

Ben Walsh, chief insurance and investments officer at AIA Australia, added: “We are a partnering organisation that champions shared value and making a difference in people’s lives.

“By teaming up with the AFA Foundation, we are choosing to support a foundation that significantly enriches the lives and livelihoods of others – which in turn will create meaningful impact and serve our community for the better.”

Head of sales at Zurich and OnePath Life, Nathan Taggart, said the company is proud to be supporting the foundation given the current challenges of the pandemic across Australia.

“We have a responsibility to positively impact the lives of our customers, partners and the broader community,” he said.

“This initiative, and our long-standing partnership with the AFA, is another way we hope we can make a difference.”

Since the AFA Foundation’s inception in 2007, over $2 million has been provided to charity partners in Australia.
