Our Giving partner:
StreetSmart Australia
At Pepper Money, we believe everyone should have a safe place to call home. That’s why we’ve partnered with StreetSmart Australia, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable people experiencing homelessness. Through grassroots initiatives and community-driven support, StreetSmart creates real change where it’s needed most.
This partnership reflects our continued commitment to supporting communities and people in need and building pathways to a better future.
We’re joining StreetSmart in "Making-a-Home" through collective action
Through StreetSmart’s Collective Giving model, they work together with organisations and individuals to create meaningful change. Pepper Money is proud to be part of this movement, because when we pool our resources, we empower more people than ever to find safety, dignity, and hope.
Ending homelessness takes more than housing alone. Our support will be “Making-a-Home” for people facing homelessness by providing the right support at the right time: from preventative care, to emergency relief in a crisis, to housing pathways and wraparound support. We believe StreetSmart’s mission of responding to people’s needs at every stage of their journey towards a safe home, can help break the cycle of homelessness.
Through Pepper Money’s partnership with StreetSmart, together we’ll be able to take action towards responding to and preventing homelessness in Australia.
The next 12 months focus will be on:
-
Stage 1: Immediate Impact
-
- Emergency relief (clothing, hygiene kits)
- Medical outreach
- Food relief
-
Stage 2: Creating a home
-
- Furniture and household appliances (pots, fridge)
- Moving costs
-
Stage 3: Tenancy success
-
- Training and education
- Social inclusion
- Legal aid and tenancy support
Celebrating 21 years with Greenfleet
To mark our 21st birthday, we partnered with Greenfleet to create a legacy for our people and the planet. The Pepper Money Milestone Forest is located on Dja Dja Wurrung Land at Ngulambarra, near Wedderburn in Central Victoria. It plays a vital role in restoring biodiversity and supporting cultural priorities.
This forest is part of a 60-hectare restoration project featuring over 20 native plant species, including wattles and Yellow Gum, that support local wildlife and build a resilient ecosystem. Greenfleet works closely with the Djaara people, planting significant food and fibre grasses to enhance both ecological and cultural values.
Progress update in 2025
As we approach our 25th birthday, Greenfleet’s monitoring shows strong growth and ecological development. The forest is well on its way to becoming a vital refuge for native species and a lasting legacy of our commitment to sustainability.
Long-term impact: The forest is legally protected for 100 years, ensuring it remains a thriving habitat and a symbol of environmental hope for generations to come.

Mario Rehayem
Pepper Money CEO – Australia and New Zealand
“It’s not every day you turn 21. So, to mark the occasion, we wanted to do something special that addresses an unmet need in our community, and creates a legacy for our people, our customers, and our partners. To be able to celebrate 21 years in business is notable. It simply could not have been achieved without the contribution of everyone who has enabled our success. It’s not just our current and past employees who deserve recognition, it also includes the many mortgage brokers, motor dealers and introducers who have entrusted their customers to us over the years.
This investment in our future is for each of you – thank you.”
Women’s and Girls Emergency Centre (WAGEC)
We’re proud to have partner with WAGEC since 2020 to deliver the ACCESS mentor program.
The ACCESS program creates pathways to training, education and employment opportunities for women within the WAGEC community. It provides women with the tools they need to rebuild their future after experiencing homelessness and/or domestic violence and set them up for long-term success.
WAGEC is a not-for-profit charity that’s been supporting communities in Inner City Sydney and the Inner West for over 40 years. WAGEC creates safe spaces for women and children who have experienced homelessness, domestic violence, and other systemic disadvantages. They do this by providing support and shelter to their clients at a time when they need it most, as they face crisis and adversity.
Panthers on the Prowl
Since 2015, we have supported “Panthers on the Prowl” (POTP) a not-for-profit organisation set up to enhance opportunities for young people in the Penrith community.
POTP empowers young people and their families through education programs, providing skills, and opportunities that build successful futures.
Our commitment to POTP extends to funding key mentoring initiatives and, over the years, actively participating in events and fundraisers.
Australasian Sports Academy
We’re delighted to announce our ongoing support for the community by backing the Australasian Sports Academy (ASA) - a local soccer academy who nurture young soccer talent.
