Summary

Welcome to forgood, where we use technology to connect Givers to Causes. We need software developers with at least 8 years’ experience to join us while we reach our high ambitions.

We facilitate impactful connections between citizens, companies, and NGOs, with over 40 000 connections to date, including skills-based volunteering, goods donations and money donations.

Our dream is to reinvent the social impact space by helping corporates leverage their human capital to create change. We currently work with 16 large corporates in SA and the UK. We have more than 35,000 employees registered on our platform.

Our SaaS product allows big corporates to create, scale and measure employee volunteering programmes, a critical piece of the employee engagement ecosystem.

We’re proudly ‘for profit’, believing in making money through purpose-driven business.

Who we are

We’re a small company of nine dedicated people who are all about taking responsibility, close-collaboration, teamwork and frequent communication. We make most decisions together – from long-term strategy to day-to-day implementation choices. Being part of a small team, we have the opportunity to get involved in other areas of the business as well (great environment for personal and career growth).

This was an amazing campaign... #uberforgood. Shows you what you can do with a PLATFORM.
Rocking a Redi Thlabi interview. We peaked at 98 after ENCA story. Want to break this record.
More #uberforgood. 175 cubic METERS of donations, collected and matched out using the platform - in Joburg alone!
Champagne! Zoom in to see each goal. #AchievementUnlocked
