?? Good, ethical, tax-deductible Festive Giving!

The festive season, while filled with joy and love, often leaves a heavy footprint on our environment.

Did you know?

• We waste around 30% more during Christmas time than any other time of the year.
• We use more than 150,000km of wrapping paper during Christmas – enough to wrap around Earth’s equator nearly 4 times.
• Over 5 million tonnes of food ends up as landfill each year – enough to fill 9,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. But, we have the power to change this narrative!

This Christmas, make your gifting impactful with GoodCompany’s charity gift cards. Simply head to goodcompany.com.au, create an account, choose the amount you wish to gift, and personalize your card! The lucky recipient can then support a cause close to their heart, whether it’s environmental conservation, education, health, or social welfare.

And the best part it - you get a tax-deductible receipt... it is a donation after all! Go on. Do some good this year.

?? GoodCompany Mystery Bus with CSL + Boots For All

Our recent adventure with CSL on the GoodCompany Volunteer Mystery Bus was nothing short of incredible! The team at CSL embarked on a mission to support Boots For All . Since 2006, Boots For All has collected new & near-new sporting goods for redistribution to children & adults in need across Australia to increase their fitness & active participation in sport.

??Boots For All also operates Australia’s first social enterprise sports store - Sport for All that provides training & employment pathways for people with barriers to employment. Together, we cleaned a whopping 93 boots, providing kids and communities with essential sports equipment and attire.

The impact we made on the community was invaluable, and we’re thrilled to share the experience earned a NPS score of 100%! Thank you to CSL for being a company that gives back!

??We invite you to join the journey and book the GoodCompany Volunteer Mystery Bus for YOUR team-building experience. Let’s come together to create positive change and spread the spirit of volunteering. Together, we can make a real difference!

?? GoodCompany Platform Updates

We have added Zendesk Articles and a Help section on every user dashboard, making our award-winning SaaS platform quicker, easier and simpler for users to find support.

You will also find the addition of the Workplace by Facebook share button on all fundraisers, dollar handles, charities and volunteer opportunities, allowing users to share their experience with their colleagues and networks.
