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.
