QBE’s philanthropic arm has renewed agreements with its seven charity partners.

It has signed multi-year deals with R U OK?, Foodbank, Mission Australia, KidsCan New Zealand, Kids Cancer Project, Assistance Dogs Australia and the McGrath Foundation.

QBE Foundation Chairman Bettina Pidcock says uncertain funding is a challenge for the non-profit sector.

“Provision of continued support and multi-year commitments allows us to address this, support longer-term projects, leverage momentum and ultimately achieve a deeper and broader impact long term.”

QBE’s employees volunteer, fundraise and join in other activities for the charities.
