Work for Good - smarter charity giving for SME's
by Startacus Admin
Work for Good - the platform designed to make it easier for SME businesses to give to the charities and causes they care about.
Giving is good. Few things, excluding fudge, make us feel better than doing good, making a difference, changing people’s lives - usually for the better, except when they deserve it, Gary. Plenty of businesses give to charity, totally out of goodness and not tax purposes, and it reflects well on them as a company. People are naturally more drawn to a business that does good, so it’s a win-win. Work for Good is a tech-for-good platform designed to make it easier for SME businesses to give to charity - particularly multiple charities - and for charities to make themselves more visible to those businesses.
Businesses have many options for the way in which they want to give, and Work for Good takes care of all the admin and legal whatnot, meaning it is quick and hassle-free to give to multiple charities at once with just a few clicks. Your own clients can get involved too, having a say in what charities you give to, matching or adding to your donations, and getting notifications every time you donate (if you so choose - how much of your charitable giving is made public is entirely up to you).
Charities don’t necessarily have the time and resources to connect with all the SMEs out there, meaning that they can go unnoticed by all the businesses giving to bigger, more visible charities.
By being a part of Work for Good, the platform makes them far more visible, increasing their chances of being seen by a business looking for a fitting charity to give to.
Membership for charities is free and for businesses is from £25 annually for a solo outfit to £750 for over 250 people, plus a 5% deduction from every donation; however, membership comes with a range of benefits, including networking with like-minded businesses, tools to involve your customers and clients, and SEO boots, and others.
So if your business is looking for charities to donate to and a convenient way of doing so, it’s worth looking into Work for Good.
