June is busy out there
Good2Give is proud to announce that we are a
supporter of the Global Purposeful Leadership Summit.
As a result of this our clients and charity network receive a 10 per cent discount when you register with Humanity in Business - provide the code when booking: g2g.
We would also like to thank Give Where You Live for quoting our Workplace Givers Revealed research in their recent newsletter – which was promoting Workplace Giving Month.
Various companies and charities throughout Australia are running special campaigns throughout June to promote awareness and excitement around this effective and efficient way to give.
You can follow the conversation online #WorkplaceGivingMonth #donateatwork.
Many Good2Give clients use the LBG Framework to report and benchmark their company’s community investment.
To make it easier to report on your workplace giving donations, Good2Give has built a bespoke report that delivers your workplace giving data for inputting into the LBG Framework.
Contact your Good2Give Client Relations Manager to find out how you can save hours in data collection.
Workplace Giving Appeals
Throughout May and June, Good2Give has been
promoting the effectiveness of workplace giving in the lead up to end of financial year (EOFY).
We were published in Pro Bono Australia (see below) and have seen engagement with our Donation Tax Calculator increase significantly.
In the coming months, we will be talking about Winter.
Why? Because Homelessness Australia puts the figure at over 105,000 people without a home to go to tonight, and 17% of those people are children under the age of 12.
We will also be celebrating NAIDOC Week.
Workplace giving ’appeal’ resources and how-to guides will be available for both companies and charities
on the Good2Give website as of the first week of July.
Our Workplace Givers Revealed research showed that some 34 per cent of workplace givers would be happy to donate more if they were simply asked, so start locking in your appeal campaigns today.
Client Giving Initiatives
In immediate response to Cyclone Debbie, Aurizon
launched the Aurizon’s Disaster Response Giving Fund with grants from $1,000 to $20,000.
Although the funding round has now closed and applications being reviewed as we write, we spoke with April Whittam who shared the ethos and swift response to this natural disaster at Aurizon.

Australia Post launched workplace giving for their StarTrack employees in May and held a great event at their Sydney headquarters.
Good2Give was proud to be there to support the onboarding of new donors to our workplace giving platform, and celebrating the business’ ongoing support of charities and communities around Australia.
Good2Give teamed up with The Funding Network (TFN) and PwC, who hosted two events in Sydney and Melbourne raising more than $175,000 for six grass roots charities.
PwC Partners and staff made make their donations using our Workplace Giving Platform, allowing PwC to manage their matching budget easily and saving TFN time and money in processing donations.
They were exciting evenings and as someone described it, “a live workplace giving event”.
If you haven’t gone to a TFN event, I highly recommend doing so.
If you are a charity with turnover of less than $1 million then I would also encourage you to check out TFN.
Read our blog with Lisa Cotton, TFN’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
Sydney Water has also launched its grant program for community organisations from Sydney, the Blue Mountains and
Illawarra.
