Global charity fundraising platform GivenGain has given its employees carte blanche to choose where they want to work from in future.From 1 July, all 134 employees across GivenGain, its parent company Humanstate and Humanstate’s residential rental payment platform PayProp were given this choice as part of the Humanstate group’s wider adoption of distributed working practices. Work from anywhere Staff in the UK, the United States, Canada, Switzerland and South Africa can now work from home, while travelling, in corporate and group offices – newly converted into co-working spaces – or theoretically, the beach. Humanstate has already made its first fully ‘distributed’ (location-independent) appointment, hiring a new senior accountant after an interview and onboarding process conducted entirely remotely via videoconferencing. While her employer is registered in Switzerland, the new accountant happens to be working from South Africa. Major impact One can only truly begin to understand the impact of the decision when considering the surrender of management control that comes with it. “As a charitable foundation that assists fundraisers, events and charities through our global fundraising platform, this structure is a perfect fit for us,” says Marius Maré, GivenGain’s President. “Our new distributed structure allows us to appoint staff in new time zones, as we continue to remotely support partners across six continents.

Charity supported: Imbumba FoundationTotal funds raised: R91 970Number of donations: 141Donor countries: 5 Aaron Msipha has always wanted to make a difference. During his first year of chartered accountancy articles, he and a group of colleagues in the same year adopted a charity in the nearby town of Soshanguve, donating to them regularly and giving up their free time to help with administrative work.  But while Aaron had always been ready to share his money and time with the causes he cared about, he had never tried fundraising, which made the smooth step up to his first ever project that much more impressive – though no surprise to anyone who’s used GivenGain before. With his 30th birthday coming up, Aaron decided that he wanted to use his special day to help others and started looking for a cause to support. That’s when he discovered the Imbumba Foundation, a South African non-profit aiming to bring about social change and economic upliftment in some of the country’s poorest communities. “They told me about this programme that they run on an annual basis called Trek4Mandela. They take climbers up Kilimanjaro to the summit to raise money for sanitary pads for girls. It was then that I knew that I also wanted to do this,” says Aaron. “After that it was a conversation about how to fundraise, and they recommended GivenGain. They had had a number of fundraisers use it before.” For Read the full article

Spreading the love Freudweiler says the idea with the announcement came when the platform registered robust growth in recent years. “With massive global fundraising events like GivingTuesday, interspersed with calamities like the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a growing need for uncomplicated fundraising to boost charity incomes, and decided to open up to all recognised charities anywhere who register with us,” he continues.

Freudweiler says at 5%, GivenGain’s transaction fee is in line with the industry standard and matches or beats that of its more commercially-driven competitors. Now, donors can cover even this fee, potentially giving the charity 100% of their donation. He says at latest count, some 92% of donors made use of this option since its inception in March. “In the charity world, that means a lot,” says Freudweiler. “At a time when digital becomes increasingly important to raise money safely, we hope charities will make extensive use of our ‘free forever’ offering to increase their impact.” Visit GivenGain to Read the full article
