Anyone can enjoy the benefits of the fund while simultaneously making a difference to the community.
Frances Johnson has an account for each of her four grandchildren. Money is automatically transferred every pay day. It’s simply set and forget as the accounts build up.
“When each grandchild turns 18, they will have the funds to buy a car, go on a holiday, do whatever they want to do. It’s an affordable, long-term plan that will make a big difference to them down the track,” said Ms Johnson.
She’s also impressed by the St Nicholas pre-schools her grandkids attend and the way their accounts, in turn, support them.
“I find it very positive and pleasing that I am able to contribute to The Fund in a small way. It’s lovely to know that your investments are being used to support agencies, schools and entities within the Diocese. I am very proud to be part of it,” Helen Bird.
Term Investment offers members of the community the opportunity to make an ethical investment supporting the Diocese. Members can choose a three, six or 12- month term and receive a fixed rate of interest.
Notice Saver offers members of the community an account with no fixed term and competitive interest rates. There is a requirement of 31 days’ notice to withdraw.
