About this campaign
From crowdfunding and instant mobile payments for emergency relief to virtual volunteering platforms, technology has changed the way we give. By allowing individuals to assist in real-time, the Internet has transformed the non-profit space. Techies Day, which takes place on 3 October, celebrates the achievements of all the people working behind the scenes to bring tech and social impact closer together.
As the biggest volunteering platform in South Africa, forgood connects individuals and corporates with registered causes in a way that builds sustainability and enables businesses to track their impact. Through its various streams, forgood reaches over 300 000 people every month and remains accountable to both the businesses and the causes it supports.
From mentorship, proposal writing, fundraising, translation or graphic design - anybody with access to a digital device can volunteer. “The benefits of volunteering, both online and offline, are endless. By connecting to causes, individuals and groups can get involved with social change in a real and impactful way - from just about anywhere,” says forgood CEO, Andy Hadfield.
