Financial planning industry continues to give generously to bushfire appeal
Almost four months on, the financial planning industry continues to donate generously to the Victorian bushfire appeal.
Genesys Wealth Advisers has donated $65,000 to the appeal through the Financial Planning Association’s (FPA) Future2 Foundation, significantly adding to funds already raised.
The donation towards the relief of communities in devastated areas of Victoria came at the request of Genesys advisers through the Genesys National Advisory Council.
Meanwhile, the process of allocating the funds to deserving recipients has begun, according to Future2 trustee Michael Neary.
“We are working with the Gippsland chapter of the FPA to identify deserving recipients and also hope to involve local Genesys member firms in this process too,” Neary said.
The FPA also continues to offer pro-bono advice to bushfire victims through its referral service, which allows those affected by the fires to seek advice from a local planner.
It encourages those affected by the fires and who want to seek advice regarding their current financial situation to call the referral service (1800 626 393).
