Corporate Volunteering Platform
More and more companies are discovering that when they introduce a corporate volunteering platform with their corporate giving plan, it’s good for their business.
The Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM) found that 93% of employees who volunteer through their company report being happy with their employer, and 54% of those who are proud of their company’s contributions to society are engaged at work. This is compared to an average engagement rate of 15% across the board.
Communiteer connects, engages and mobilises volunteers to tackle the world’s greatest challenges through corporate volunteering.
That’s why we are the social good network.

Flexibility in your corporate volunteering platform!
Project-based Volunteering
A scope of work that can be completed with a flexible schedule based on a clear brief. This is ideal for output-focused tasks and is often dependent on a set of professional skills.
Role-based Volunteering
An ongoing role with set hours and responsibilities to be filled with volunteer capacity and skillsets. This is ideal for outcome-focused initiatives and often includes some training and induction prior.
What is Holistic Giving?
There are many ways to create meaningful change in the world, whether that be donating money, belongings, or time.
Communiteer’s vision is to use technology as a force for good to create a more equitable, humane and prosperous society. To fulfil this vision, we’re building delivery partnerships with other social enterprises and not-for-profits changing the world in their own way create a holistic giving experience.
Workplace Giving
As donation and volunteerism go hand in hand, Communiteer has been working in partnership with Good2Give, Australia’s largest workplace giving platform. Our integrated solution that will allow corporate staff to contribute their money, skills or time to charities all in one place!
The plans on offer are in conjunction with a Good2Give Workplace Giving membership.
Event-Based Volunteering
Hackathons International and Communiteer are combining the scalability of tech solutions with the speed and outcome-driven event format.
Online hackathons are the new ‘volunteer days’ for corporates organisations, providing a unique experience with a high level of engagement, interactiveness and creativity for small or large teams.
Place-Based Volunteering
Team building activities allow colleagues to connect and bond outside of their day-to-day tasks, which is even more enjoyable and meaningful when it’s for a higher purpose of helping a charity.
That is why we’ve partnered with Mobilize – Team Building with Purpose. They have taken team building activities face-to-face and online to a whole new level.

The truth is that we’ve been building our platform to support a community like IMPACT2030 for years: A group of members organisations that can mobilise corporate volunteers at scale to contribute towards the UN SDGs.
We were part of the initial meeting to facilitate IMPACT2030 down under, and we’ve been an engaged member since.
Whilst the pandemic has certainly made it more challenging to re-establish communication lines and to get people to stay focused on these 17 Global Goals, we are excited to announce that the IMPACT2030 initiative, powered by Communiteer, will be relaunched in Australia in 2021.
Join us to see how we can grow this community together, coordinate regular activities between members systematically, and measure the impact that’s been created over time towards the Global Goals.
