Welcome to Good2Give News – a fresh approach to inspire and build capacity for high impact, high value corporate community investment in our society.

Just as supporting charities is an investment in our society, enhancing corporate philanthropy is an investment in our workplaces – our pride as employees and optimism as individuals. We thank you for joining us in growing and enabling this.

Through the dedicated work of our clients we’re thrilled that over the last 12 months we’ve distributed $15 million to the charity sector. That’s $4.6 million more than last year, taking us to a total of $155 million delivered to over 5,000 Australian and international communities since 2001. We’re well on our way to reach our target of $300 million by 2020.

Development of giving technology platforms for grants, foundations and workplace giving have been a big part of this, including the recent mobile functionality of Good2Give’s Workplace Giving Platform. A first in Australia, this saw employee logins spike by 300 per cent. We encourage you to explore how this can boost your employee participation, possibly through dollar coin fundraisers or quick donations to your company supported appeals.

We’re also pleased to launch our Charity Resource Hub to equip charity fundraisers to reach out to corporate partners and employees and build high-value support for your community programs.

It’s vital that we start talking more about how to build a stronger culture of giving in our society and in our workplaces. Sharing knowledge and experiences is a great step forward.

Kind regards

Lisa Grinham
