What Do IT does

Do IT (legally Do IT Life Social Enterprise Ltd, also Do IT Life Services Ltd) is a UK-based social enterprise founded in 2002 and headquartered in London, operating a multi-product platform ecosystem that connects individual volunteers, charities, and corporate employers around volunteering and ESG activity. The company serves as the UK's largest volunteering database, with 1 million+ user accounts and 60,000 non-profits supported across two main surfaces: Doit Life, a free public platform for individual volunteers and charities to find and advertise opportunities; and Doit Day, a paid corporate CSR platform offering employee volunteering management, team event booking, and ESG reporting dashboards with quote-based subscription pricing for enterprise and mid-market customers. Underlying these is an Open Volunteering architecture built on open data standards that lets charities publish once and distribute opportunities across multiple platforms and volunteer management systems, with an Open API and integrations (e.g., Assemble). The company monetises through four streams: freemium access for volunteers and charities (no direct revenue); advertising packages to organisations (£750–£5,000+VAT) reaching 40,000+ organisations including 34,000+ UK charities; corporate subscription contracts (Doit Day, with Enterprise Plus tier for 5,000+ employee companies); and platform licensing / white-label opportunities for custom recruitment apps. An AI-enabled product roadmap (skills-based volunteering matching in beta with 800 corporate partners, Lifepass referral platform, AI-first charity apps launching Q2/Q4 2025) signals a strategic shift from a directory business toward becoming the digital infrastructure layer for the UK civil society sector.

Revenue model

1. Freemium Platform for Volunteers and Charities: The core Doit Life platform is completely free for individual volunteers and charity/non-profit organisations. Users create accounts and access the database at no cost. This free tier drives the network scale and reach that monetisation channels depend on.

Pricing tiers based on employee count — standard packages up to 5,000 employees, Enterprise Plus for 5,000+ employees with additional services including guided onboarding, dedicated account management, priority feature input, charity partner-finding, and bespoke branding options.
3. Advertising to Charities and Non-profits: Advertising packages sold to organisations wanting to reach Doit's network of 40,000+ organisations including 34,000+ UK charities. Packages include Standard (£750+VAT), Premium (£2,000+VAT), Campaign (custom quote), and Research & Surveys (from £5,000+VAT). Channels show 34% average email open rate and 37% click-to-open rate.
4. Platform Licensing / White-label: The same technology powering Doit apps can be used to build custom recruitment apps for charities and organisations, as noted in the non-profits page offering dedicated volunteer app building based on Doit technology.

• HelperChoice: HelperChoice operates online marketplaces connecting volunteers with charitable organisations across multiple countries. It is comparable as a multi-region volunteer matching platform, though smaller in scale than Doit's UK network.
• Reach Volunteering: Reach Volunteering is a UK nonprofit that places professionals into trustee and board-level volunteering roles for charities. It overlaps with Doit Life's trustee-position use case and addresses the skilled-volunteering segment Doit is targeting with its Q2 2025 product launch.
• VolunteerMatch: VolunteerMatch is the largest online volunteer engagement network in the United States, connecting individuals with nonprofit opportunities. It is a direct conceptual analogue to Doit Life, serving the same function in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Benevity: Benevity is the dominant global corporate volunteering and CSR platform, serving hundreds of enterprise clients with employee giving, volunteering, and grants programs. It is the primary enterprise competitor to Doit Day and validates the scale Doit could pursue in the corporate ESG market.
• Salesforce.org (Philanthropy Cloud / Nonprofit Cloud): Salesforce.org offers Philanthropy Cloud, a corporate volunteering and giving platform integrated with the Salesforce CRM stack. As a deep-pocketed incumbent in the CRM-for-nonprofits market, it competes for the same enterprise ESG platform deals that Doit Day targets.

Regional players

• NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations): NCVO is the umbrella body for the UK voluntary sector, providing membership, research, and infrastructure services to charities. While not a direct product competitor, it shapes the UK charity infrastructure market in which Doit operates and is a key ecosystem participant.
