Community Spirit
Intervest Global is a Certified Social Enterprise
A guiding principle in the Intervest Global philosophy is to commit a percentage of the organisation’s time, effort and profits toward charitable organisations and various community sponsorships. Intervest Global have recently been certified as an XL Social Enterprise.
The XL Social Enterprise Accreditation Programme is part of the Billion Dollar Challenge – A global initiative to track the annual earnings and contributions of social enterprises towards World Wide Wealth.
The target is towards collective earnings of US$1Billion with US$100Million going to charities and causes each year by 2020. The programme defines a social enterprise as a company donating at least 10% of annual pre tax profits to a nominated cause.
Global Community support through KIVA, loans that change lives.
At Intervest Global our company vision is "Life Fulfilment Through Financial Freedom". This is what we provide to our customers, so we have decided that from every TriLogics™ sale from 1 January 2008 we will invest a portion of every sale towards Kiva to help provide “Life Fulfilment Through Financial Freedom” to people in the developing world through microfinance.
As the loans are repaid we will reinvest the money so that we are continually helping more and more people every month. So together with Intervest Global Live all of our clients can empower people in the developing world to lift themselves out of poverty, therefore gaining “Life Fulfilment Through Financial Freedom.”

Local Community support through the Kokoda Challenge
The Kokoda Challenge Association is a volunteer organisation helping young Australians to realise their full potential through the spirit of Kokoda.
We do this through the Kokoda Challenge. The Kokoda Challenge is a cross-country bushwalking team event where teams of 4 people trek a 96km course through the Gold Coast Hinterland within a 39 hour time limit.
The event was designed to reflect the key elements of the Spirit of Kokoda - with 96km representing the actual distance of the Kokoda Track and the 39 hours symbolizing the 39th Militia who were the first of our Australian troops to arrive at Kokoda on 15th July 1942.
The Kokoda Challenge is designed to increase awareness of Kokoda and raise funds for the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program (KCYP). The KCYP is an early intervention program which engages young Australians to learn the skills and values of endurance, courage, mateship and sacrifice.
The 2008 Kokoda Challenge will be held on the 19th-20th July.
Intervest Global are entering a team in the Kokoda Challenge and appreciate all support.
Update : Well the Kokoda Challenge has come and gone for another year and this year team 128, The Bodychoice Intervest Trekkers managed to get the whole team across the line in just under 28 hours. The course this year got tougher, they added another hill just after the half way mark which sorted the strong from the weak, the men from the boys.
There were 260 teams started the event and only 102 finished as a complete team, The Bodychoice Intervest Trekkers were the 25th mixed team and overall 48th full team to cross the line, we completed the challenge in 27 hours 55 minutes. Our team consisted of Pete Fitzgerald, Gina Winsor, Sally Moulder, John Bolton. We have all recovered well with no serious injuries just a few blisters, and this is because of the wonderful support crew we had in Libby & Pete W, they were there at every stop to feed us, change our smelly disgusting shoes & socks and give us encouragement and of course lots of drugs in the form of nurofen & voltaren (hey it all helps). Our team raised approx $2k.
