Reflecting on the first half of this year, we're happy to see that our goal of donating $20,000 is on track. Whether it be to charities, causes, community groups, or just generally sharing some good in the world.
What communities and causes have we supported?
Forge Through | During the 2021 Land Forces expo, Anywise had a competition for people to vote for their favourite charity or cause. The winner was Forge Through and they received a $5,000 donation to help them continue the great work they do. Working with Veterans and First Responders over an anvil and hearth. Forge Through was developed to start conversations around mental health and PTSD. To assist those who have suffered from the demands of their role serving the people of Australia. | $5,000 |
