What is Foresters ANA?

Foresters ANA is an independent Australian community development finance institution. With a focus on social investment and  community finance initiatives which work to build strong, just, equitable Australian communities that are financially, environmentally and socially sustainable.

What we do

By offering innovative, positively screened social investment products, we have a pool of funds under investment.  We use these funds to provide community organisations and social enterprises with access to financial products and services to build their capacity to address a range of challenging social issues in Australian society.

We also offer a range of other services to build capacity for people and organisations, including educational strategies, training, consulting and publications focusing on various aspects of community economic development.  Our research projects aim to capture and disseminate learnings from our activities.

Empowering Community Organisations

Just like individuals who invest in real estate to build their financial strength, we believe that community organisations that serve our society can also build their financial sustainability through purchasing property.  These assets can then be used in a range of ways to build the capacity of the organisation to provide  services to their community.
