The company will donate the first-quarter proceeds from its monthly casual dress fundraising initiative to the Amicus Group.
Amicus chief executive officer Ann-Maree Davis said the organisation was hoping to eventually purchase 45 iPads for staff this year.
She said the tablets would allow staff to spend more time with participants.
"They'll provide our support workers with information they need to do their jobs while they're out in the community," she said.
Ms Davis said the donation by AFS was very welcome.
"They've allowed us to kick off 2015 in a fabulous way," she said.
Amicus board member and AFS staff member Jessica Ritchie was the driving force behind the donation.
Amicus provides support to disabled and elderly people around the Bendigo region.
