Investing in the Community
In 2001, FMD Financial committed themselves to 'making a difference', as we not only care about the well-being of our clients, but also the community as a whole.
Our first initiative was ‘casual’ Friday, allowing staff to wear casual clothes in exchange for a charity donation. Since this initial initiative, the FMD Financial team has expanded their endeavours, donating not only money, but their time as fund raisers, participants and volunteers with community organisations and charities who provide people with practical help to relieve suffering and hardship.
