Introducing volunteering

Give employees volunteering opportunities that match their skills with the real needs of charities.

One hundred days

We have just passed 100 days since Australia confirmed its first case of COVID-19. We braced ourselves for the worst-case scenario that could have seen our healthcare system overwhelmed and ICU beds reach capacity. But it seems for now, Australia has escaped a full-blown coronavirus catastrophe.

Virtually Together, an online community to connect the most isolated

We’re living in unprecedented times and now more than ever is our time to come together, find our commonalities, and work together to build a more connected world that uplifts all of humanity.

Q&A with Lisa Grinham and Linda Dickens

As the world deals with the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Linda Dickens, from Effectus Marketing, sat down with CEO Lisa Grinham to find out how the Good2Give team are keeping calm and carrying on.

COVID-19 Response – Important Information

We have made some key changes to our policies and procedures, and from Monday 23 March (until Friday 3 April at this stage), Good2Give is adopting social distancing policies, which include moving staff to home-based working, not conducting face-to-face meetings and placing a hold on all work-related plane travel.

How we work with Charities

Good2Give is significantly growing giving and increasing the volume of low-cost donations from the business community to charitable organisations. As a not-for-profit ourselves, we believe in strengthening the charitable sector by offering low-cost funding models such as workplace giving. Good2Give’s Workplace Giving Platform makes it easy for charities to receive and report on workplace giving donations.

Why Give?

As an individual, giving makes us feel good. A number of studies have found that the very act of giving builds one’s sense of belonging, meaning and helps grow wider generosity in our society. Company boards and management teams know that investing in communities is virtually a licence to operate. With more than 15 years of helping businesses and donors give effectively in Australia and New Zealand, Good2Give has earned the trust of donors, businesses and charities alike.

Clear, straightforward service with dedicated staff that respond quickly and efficiently

Timely, dedicated responses and a willingness to listen to our requirements. Clear, straightforward service with dedicated staff that respond quickly and efficiently to requests from clients. The administration associated with our community investment program is enormous. Leaving these tasks to the experts’ means we can concentrate on sharing the positive stories that come out of our assets and offices with our customers and continuously improve how we deliver community investment and development across our business.

Good2Give delivered a very detailed strategy paper from which an entire program of work was agreed to at CEO level

I needed to engage the services of an organisation that could assist me to develop our company’s corporate community investment strategy. There was a strong commitment from our Executive Leadership Team, but they wanted to know what such a strategy would mean in terms of delivery and outcomes, costs, philanthropic legal structures, what a community program at Aurizon might look like, and how it would engage staff and our communities. Good2Give delivered a very detailed strategy paper from which an entire program of work was agreed to at CEO level. Good2Gives’s involvement enabled us to fast track the Aurizon Community Giving Fund to launch in a matter of months.

We are really enjoying offering a workplace giving program, and are having some fun with it

We are really enjoying offering a workplace giving program, and are having some fun with it. We get all the staff together every couple of months to encourage people to give. Being able to support victims of the cyclone in Vanuatu and the earthquake Nepal made so easy using Good2Give’s Workplace Giving Platform. Feedback from staff has been really positive, particularly as the company matches employee donations.

Our partnership with Good2Give provides absolute confidence

We partnered with Good2Give in 2014 to help manage our Matched Payroll Giving and Employee Community Grants programs, as part of our Because We Care Australia program. In addition to seeing a significant increase in both engagement and participation, our partnership with Good2Give also provides absolute confidence on the operational governance behind these programs.
