Community

Our Local & National Community Charity Partners

Small businesses at their heart serve their local community, with products and services, employ staff, purchase local services, and support local community charities and service groups – because community matters.

We believe the best small businesses reflect the diverse fabric of the greater community we all connect to. Drew Browne, Senior Advisor Sapience Financial

The adage is true: the money you spend with a local business stays within the community; pays for little girls to do ballet lessons, for sons to play local football, and not for CEO's to drive Ferraris or send profits to a multi-national company.

It doesn’t take long to understand ‘people are made for each other’.
 The Stoics had a word for this awareness: sympatheia — 'a connectedness with the cosmos'.

The Sapience Financial group of clever advice brands believes stronger businesses create stronger communities, and stronger communities create stronger businesses.

We understand often in small business, life, love, and business, necessarily overlap but life needs to be about something more than just money.

• It’s at the intersection of business and compassion, we see how business makes compassion work - a conversation we’re happy to have with anyone.
• Whether that's through extending our reach, lending our influence, spotlighting a need and a solution or recognising someone and something good and compassionate, we’re ready to lend our weight, insights, and leadership for a meaningful cause.

Here are some of the ways we work to balance people, profit, and purpose every day.
