At Avanti Finance, we proudly support organisations that align with our values and offer valuable services to our customers and communities

Duffy Books in Homes and Dawson Road School

We’re proud to support Duffy Books in Homes and Dawson Road School. As part of this programme, we attend Role Model assemblies, presenting books to students to encourage a love of reading and academic achievement.

The Duffy Books in Homes programme was developed to inspire a love of reading in children who may come from ‘bookless’ homes. The idea behind the programme came from NZ author Alan Duff, and we have been a part of it since the beginning, over some 20 years ago. Duffy Books in Homes provides books to children from low-decile schools across New Zealand. It gives these children the opportunity to choose and own their very own books. The programme has since expanded into Australia and the United States and given over 10 million books away since it started.

Fundraising and donations

Each year, we encourage our staff to donate to the SPCA NZ, Cancer Society NZ and Foster Hope. Avanti matches the funds raised to give these great causes an extra boost. Additionally, we provide financial donations to organisations including Lifewise, Dress for Success, Auckland Volunteering, Eat Up Australia, and more.
