US commercial property insurer FM Global has donated $US50,000 ($66,628) to Givit, supporting the charity’s flood relief efforts for affected communities in Queensland and NSW.

The insurer will also double match its employee contributions to the charity through April 30.

“The widespread floods have affected thousands of families and businesses,” FM Global Australia Operations Senior VP Lynette Schultheis said.

“We regret the circumstances that create this need and are grateful to Givit for the work it is doing to provide communities and people with immediate support where and when they need it during this difficult time.”
