25.01.2022 #CelebratingNaidocWeek We love this idea! We will now be using our traditional place name on any address and correspondence. We operate from Port Phillip which is Boon Wurrung Country. ... You can read the guidelines on how to use in postal addresses here >>>https://auspost.com.au//check-sendin/addressing-guidelines

24.01.2022 We are proud of the children, schools and businesses supporting the Climate Strike today. The people have spoken! When will our politicians listen? #globalclimatestrike #socialenterpriseaustralia

23.01.2022 We really enjoyed this presentation by Dr Brent Coker at the Change the World event hosted by the wonderful team of Hancock Creative Brent is a data nut! They have done so much research on what makes social media posts effective and even viral. This is a great summary graphic of his presentation and you can read more in this article. #charity #fundraising #socialenterprise #grassrootcharities

22.01.2022 The need to register in each state for fundraising is well and truly outdated. In todays digital world and even more so post-Covid, charities can really operate nationally. This is a great opportunity to contribute your feedback if you work in the industry. #fundraising #charitysector

21.01.2022 We are excited to be the showcase speaker at the upcoming plant: grow: reap event with Aintree Group at the end of the month. They have generously allowed us to extend the invitation to our community to join us for this Free Business Luncheon Event. #businesslunch #networking #socialimpact #smallbusiness

21.01.2022 A great article by Julia Keady & Darren Taylor of The Xfactor Collective - Social Impact Community on branding revamp and 5 signs when your branding isnt working for you!

21.01.2022 We might think that Social Impact Investment is pretty new, although if you check out this timeline, you can see the evolution here in Australia over the past 20 years. We think that this is the future of bringing real social change and are so excited to be a part of this movement. #businessforgood #socialenterprise #socialimpact... http://ow.ly/KRtR50AW48a

20.01.2022 How Corporate Social Responsibility is being put to the test. "No one expects or requires major companies to take extraordinary measures to help their many stakeholders, but the bold and creative steps they take today to deliver immediate assistance will define their legacy tomorrow."

20.01.2022 There has never been a time that this has become more relevant. So many charities are currently under incredible pressure with loss of revenue as many donors are under their own financial pressure, yet there are also high demands for their services. As an Executive or Director you have a significant responsibility in ensuring you are financially viable and solvent. ... This was a great article and comes with a really useful downloadable guide.

19.01.2022 Another great example of a local business using business for good and on multiple levels. This is a regular event for Steels Gate Winery, hosting a get together on the first Friday of the month targeting locals as a way to connect. They simply invited their local CFA in to attend and help raise some cash for them. Steelsgate are also matching money on the night dollar for dollar. @steelsgatewines #matchedgiving #businessforgood #socialimpact #smallbusiness #cfa #purposeoverprofit

19.01.2022 We would like to Welcome Jo McConnell to her new role as CEO of the Gomo Foundation, one of our Charity Partners. Jo and Rugare (Founder of the Gomo Foundation) discuss her vision for the Foundation having joined the team. Jo, we are really excited to be working with you and the team in achieving your vision! https://youtu.be/SCYY6Kx5hEU

19.01.2022 Happy International Day of Charity!! If you have a business and have that thought you would love to give something back but really not sure where to event start, which charity to support, not sure what sort of difference it will really make or not sure how I can best support them, drop us a message. That is what we are experts at!

19.01.2022 Inspiring to hear the story about @scottsgreatwalk4telethon from the young man himself. Scott Guerini started at the incredible age of 4 and a 25km Walk. Kudos to Scotts Mum Nicole for empowering the dreams of a 4yo boy #changetheworldevent #socialimpact #socialenterprise

18.01.2022 Can you spare 3 minutes for one of our amazing Charity Partners. Do you appreciate businesses who are driven by a bigger purpose than just making a profit? Australian Ethical Super believe its important to play a leadership role in making the world a better place. Thats why each year they give away 10% of their yearly profits to charitable organisations and social impact initiatives. 24 grassroots organisations who contribute to humanitarian, environmental and animal welfar...e efforts in Australia and abroad have been shortlisted. One of our Charity Partners, Free To Shine are one of them! They have been shortlisted for a Community Grant for their Social Work Program. Australian Ethical Super open it up to public votes to determine which of the 24 organisations will receive grants. Voting is open to both members and non-members and there is no limit to how many votes you can cast. We would love you to vote for Free To Shine under People. https://www.australianethical.com.au//fo/community-grants/ Thank you #austethicalcommunitygrants #businessforgood #bcorp

17.01.2022 We would like to congratulate all the Social Changemakers who were acknowledged yesterday with their contribution to the sector in the Queens Birthday 2020 Honours List. In particular Denis Moriarty from OurCommunity.com.au, another #bcorporation They do an outstanding job and provide an abundance of resources and information (a lot of it free) to the Sector.

17.01.2022 Today is World Social Enterprise Day!! So what is a social enterprise? It’s an organisation that works to improve the lives of people and planet, utilising strategies usually reserved for commercial endeavours. Sometimes they’re for-profit, sometimes they’re not, and there are as many variations in their structure as there are types of business. Social Enterprise Day celebrates companies that work to serve the community and its needs by providing goods and services to the ...less fortunate people in the world like us! #socialenterprise #businessforgood #grassrootcharity #sme

17.01.2022 Its fantastic to see an emerging Social Enterprise (also a registered charity) getting main stream media coverage and also demonstrating the power of Social Enterprises using profits for purpose. There are some great cost comparisons on the regular go-to booking agencies and not only do Humanitix come up trumps on low costs but they have already contributed $250,000 to charity from their profits. If you havent checked out the better alternative to Eventbrite yet, you can here http://bit.ly/Humanitix and they will also support the Dovetail Social Impact Program through a referral fee, enabling us to make an even greater impact to the grass-root charities we work with! #socialenterprises #purposedrivenbusiness #socialimpact #businessforgood

16.01.2022 Congratulations to Christey and Jo, Founders of one of our Charity Partners, Just Peoples for celebrating their 5th Year of operations this month. Their first project funded back in 2015 which was to pay for a teacher for a class of 30 Cambodian children. They have now funded 94 projects in 13 countries that has impacted the lives of 83,000 people living in poverty! Not a bad 5 years, dont you think?!?! ... #charity #grassrootcharity #socialenterprise #globalgoals See more

15.01.2022 Today is #WorldChildrensDay World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 (as Universal Children's Day) to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare and rights. November 20th marks the anniversary from 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. ... We are very proud of our Charity Partners who are committed to providing the most basic of rights to children both here in Australia, as well as overseas. Including those that work with our local community to educate and build global leadership with our children. Thank you Shine Cambodia Free To Shine The Sixth Child Gomo Foundation Ocean Mind Incorporated Just Peoples

15.01.2022 To #MakeADifference it can be something quite simple. Engage your customers and you connect in a meaningful way with your local community that builds customer awareness, loyalty and engagement. Loved seeing this walking home from the local market on the weekend at @lightupcoffee South Melbourne. An initiative with their customers to provide non-personable food items for a local Food Bank at Christmas. #customerengagement #foodbank #localbusiness #socialimpact #socialenterprise @LightUpCoffee

12.01.2022 So there was an upside to the panic buying of loo paper. This years donation by Who Gives A Crap will go toward a variety of water, sanitation and hygiene (aka WASH) projects, like building toilets, advancing disability inclusion, and providing soap and handwashing stations in countries like Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, Kenya and India. #thanksrona #socialenterprise #businessforgood #bcorp

10.01.2022 Excited to hear the story of Rugare Gomo, growing up in Zimbabwe, educated in Australia and setting up the Gomo Foundation enduring girls in Zimbabwe get a full education. The Gomo Foundation is one of our inspiring Charity Partners in the Dovetail Social Impact Program.

10.01.2022 Being based in Melbourne, we are still very much in the middle of our COVID crisis. Lockdown 2.0 has definitely been tougher for most. After the first lockdown, Melbourne was a little battle weary from the first lockdown and heading into the second lockdown, the novelty of baking sourdough, home fitness routines and being your own MasterChef has worn thin.

05.01.2022 This week we finalised another step in working towards our B Corp Accreditation by moving our banking to Beyond Bank, an accredited #BCorp themselves. It can be a bit of a minefield trying to figure out if you are making the right ethical, social and environmental choices within your business but choosing from an already accredited B Corp makes it a whole lot easier! #socialenterprise #bcorps #bcorpaccreditation #ethicalbanking

04.01.2022 It can be a controversial topic but it opens to an important question. Charities are currently stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. "How can they [charities] get donations from people without spending on marketing?"... We all want our donor dollar to get to the projects, so how do the charities get the donor dollar in the first place. The digital marketing space had certainly levelled the playing field but as this space now becomes more competitive and you having to spend to get seen, what is the alternative? https://mumbrella.com.au/its-time-for-charities-to-stop-bei

04.01.2022 #Repost @rrael One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsfs career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall. The wall became a literal fulcrum for U.S. - Mexico relations and children and adults were connected in meaningful ways on both sides with the recognition that the actions that take place on one side have a direct consequence on the other side. #makeadifference #socialimpact #socialenterprises #domoregood

03.01.2022 We have to admit that this is one of our favourite recent fundraisers and best uses of Zoom. The cast of Game of Thrones gather for a reunion on Reunited Apart on Josh Gads Youtube channel. It raised $USD80,000 through the Youtube fundraiser and also facilitated a $USD1.3 million corporate sponsorship from Cheerios for the chosen US Charity No Kid Hungry. #GoTfan #zoomforgood #fundraise

03.01.2022 Did you know that the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has a Director of Red Tape Reduction!! We love how the ACNC is championing the #reductionofredtape for charities. A win for Victorian registered organisations this week as they no longer need to apply to fundraise with Consumer Affairs Victoria if they have registered their intent to fundraise and report directly to the ACNC. ... #socialenterprise #businessforgood #charitysector #fundraising
