Fusion Markets has announced a new partnership with Our Village Australia, a Victorian charity providing essential items to vulnerable babies and children.
The partnership launched on 16 June 2026 and is designed to grow over time. Its first activity is a donation-matching campaign through Our Village Australia’s Winter Appeal, with volunteer programmes and other community initiatives expected to follow.
Fusion Markets to Match Winter Appeal Donations
As the first initiative under the partnership, Fusion Markets will match every dollar donated to Our Village Australia through the Winter Appeal campaign, dollar for dollar.
The broker has committed up to A$25,000 in matched contributions. The campaign does not have a fixed end date and will close once Fusion Markets’ full matched contribution has been allocated.
Donations made from 16 June 2026 through the Our Village donation page or directly via bank transfer will be eligible for matching. Fusion Markets said it will deliver the full matched contribution to Our Village Australia once the campaign closes.
Community Takeaway
Supporting Families During the First Six Years
Our Village Australia supports families across Victoria during the critical first six years of a child’s life. The charity provides essential items such as cots, prams, car seats, clothing, and other baby essentials to families experiencing hardship.
Fusion Markets CEO Phil Horner said the partnership reflects the company’s belief that businesses operating within a community have a responsibility to contribute to it.
“Our Village helps young mums give their babies and children a better start in life, supporting families across Victoria during the critical first six years of a child’s life. They provide essential items such as cots, prams and clothing to families who need them most. One of our core values at Fusion is ‘do the right thing’, and this partnership feels exactly like that. We’re pleased to support Our Village and give our community a reason to do the same. It’s work I’ve personally supported for a number of years, so I’ve seen the difference it makes up close. We look forward to working together for many years and continuing to support their mission.”
— Phil Horner, CEO, Fusion Markets
A Long-Term Community Partnership
Fusion Markets said the Winter Appeal donation matching is only the beginning of its relationship with Our Village Australia.
The company expects the partnership to develop beyond the initial campaign, with volunteer programmes and other community initiatives planned over time. This gives the partnership a broader purpose than a one-off donation, creating a pathway for longer-term engagement between Fusion Markets, its people, and the charity’s work.
For a broker founded in Australia, the partnership also reinforces a local community connection. Fusion Markets operates globally, but this initiative is focused on supporting families in Victoria through a charity with deep roots in Melbourne and Geelong.
Community Takeaway
Who Is Our Village Australia?
Our Village Australia was formed through the merger of three community organisations: St Kilda Mums, Geelong Mums, and Eureka Mums.
Based in Melbourne and Geelong, the charity has operated since 2009. It collects donated nursery equipment and baby essentials, safety-checks them, and delivers them to families experiencing hardship.
The organisation is supported by hundreds of volunteers who donate thousands of hours each year. Its work is built around the idea of turning pre-loved items into “re-loved” essentials so every child has the chance to thrive.
Why This Matters
The cost of essential baby and nursery items can place real pressure on families already facing hardship. Items such as cots, prams, car seats, clothing, and bedding are not optional; they are basic needs for child safety, mobility, warmth, and care.
By matching donations through the Winter Appeal, Fusion Markets is helping increase the impact of community contributions at a time when vulnerable families may need additional support.
The partnership also reflects a broader shift in how financial services companies approach corporate responsibility. Beyond trading platforms, pricing, and service, brokers are increasingly expected to demonstrate a clearer social contribution in the communities where they operate.
What Comes Next?
Fusion Markets’ partnership with Our Village Australia begins with donation matching, but the company has indicated that further community initiatives will follow.
The immediate focus is the Winter Appeal and the A$25,000 matched contribution. Over time, the relationship is expected to expand into volunteering and other forms of support, helping Our Village continue its work with babies, children, and families across Victoria.
For Fusion Markets, the initiative aligns with its stated focus on trust, service, and doing the right thing. For Our Village Australia, it brings additional funding support and visibility for a mission built around practical help for families who need it most.
