Why partner with Opportunity International Australia?
EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE: Started in Australia, Opportunity International has a rich, 45-year history of helping entrepreneurs work their way out of poverty. Opportunity International Australia is lean, nimble and agile; we partner with corporates who share in our vision to work towards ending global poverty. Our strategically aligned local implementing partners overseas deliver proven, effective services and pathways out of poverty.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS: Microfinance is a smart, scalable, sustainable way to end poverty. Donations are leveraged overseas and with a 98% loan repayment rate, we can ensure that once a loan is repaid it is re-lent to someone else, helping more and more people out of poverty.

VALUES: Partner with a well-respected organisation that champions women and upholds commitment, humility, respect, integrity, stewardship and transformation. Read more about our values here.
A partnership goes beyond your investment in growing small businesses overseas – it can help your organisation grow. A social impact focus will help you:
ENGAGE EMPLOYEES: Motivate and empower your employees and attract high-calibre talent. 83% of millennials, who make up 40% of the workforce in Australia, would be more loyal to a company that helps them contribute to social and environmental issues.
ATTRACT CUSTOMERS: Tap into the 55% of Australians who would be more likely to recommend a brand that gives even a small portion of its annual profits to charity.
BUILD YOUR BRAND: Grow and strengthen your reputation by highlighting your social investment in doing good. Some of Australia’s biggest brands understand the value of giving, with over $1.1 billion given from 50 top companies in 2020.
“Corporate social responsibility has been a key part of our corporate culture and we have attracted incredible talent as a result. People want to work for a company that has impact.” Allan English, SilverChef Founder
