February Charity Engagement
We’re delighted to announce that 2018 saw Good2Give distribute approximately $20 million of essential funding to our charity partners. Thank you for your ongoing hard work in delivering positive change in Australia.
We know applying for grants can be tricky and time consuming so we’ve created a Good2Give Tips Sheet which outlines some helpful tips on increasing your chance of success when preparing and submitting grant applications.
Our long-standing client Aurizon has committed $100,000 for disaster-stricken areas of Northern Queensland to support the recovery efforts as result of the recent Townsville Floods. If you are a charity in Queensland with DGR 1 status supporting the Northern Queensland flood relief, you may be eligible for one of the multiple grants available from $1,000 to $20,000. Applications open on 15 February 2019 and close 22 March 2019. You can apply for a grant here.
We are delighted to announce that we are working with Stockland Aura on the second round of their grants program, supporting communities in and around, the Aura development project, Australia’s largest master-planned city located on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Good2Give’s Client Relations Manager, Eddie Skelic will be joining an expert panel of corporate partnership practitioners for the FIA Conference later this month. The speakers come from a wide range of organisations such as Leukaemia Foundation, RACQ LifeFlight Rescue and Infinity Sponsorship and will be discussing the challenges and opportunities of corporate partnerships. Our strategic partner GoFundraise will have an exhibition stand at the Conference and will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Fundraising at Work.
