Academy of Givers

What Academy of Givers does

Academy of Givers is a Malta-registered non-profit voluntary organisation (VO/1949) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Birkirkara. It operates a membership-based association model serving Maltese businesses, voluntary organisations/NGOs, and purpose-driven individuals who want to engage more strategically in philanthropy and corporate social responsibility. The organisation's core offering is a web-based Member Portal that provides access to an NGO directory, events, resources, member profiles, and social initiatives, complemented by flagship in-person touchpoints including the Annual Conference & Impact Fair and recurring Impact Fairs.

The product surface consists of six core assets: the Member Portal, the Annual Conference & Impact Fair, the ACT for Impact Mentorship Programme (which pairs NGOs with professional mentors such as Attune Yourself), the annual Giving Report Malta research publication, the Directory of Not-for-Profit Organisations, and the newly launched Giving Better Toolkit (August 2026). Underlying technology is a Webflow-hosted website with an online member dashboard; integrations are limited to MailChimp for email, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is community-led: members are acquired through the website, organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and sector-specific panel events such as the May 2026 iGaming collaboration with Flutter Entertainment. Named enterprise members include APS Bank, Atlas Insurance, Flutter Entertainment, Melita (via Melita Foundation), Deloitte, KPMG, Corinthia, and B Gaming, indicating broad but non-diversified industry representation across Malta's major corporate sectors.
