GoodCompany

What GoodCompany does

GoodCompany is a privately-held Australian hybrid social enterprise and SaaS company founded in 2000, operating what it describes as Australia and New Zealand's longest-running and largest unified workplace giving platform. The company serves two primary customer segments: corporate/enterprise clients (including Optus, ANZ, Origin Energy, Medibank, AECOM, Mirvac, MYOB, CSL, and Flight Centre Foundation) seeking to implement employee giving programs, and ACNC-registered charities seeking access to corporate donors and volunteers. Its core product is a cloud-based SaaS platform hosted on AWS within Australia, combining payroll giving (pre-tax salary deductions), corporate and skilled volunteering, matched donations, fundraising campaigns, charity gift cards, and employee rewards into a single integrated system with ESG/CSR reporting capabilities.

The platform is PCI-DSS compliant, supports enterprise single sign-on (SSO) integration, and validates all listed charities against ACNC and DGR status. GoodCompany operates a hybrid structure combining a non-profit Public Ancillary Fund (GoodCompany Foundation) with DGR status alongside commercial "for purpose" operations, an architecture established through the 2007 merger with GoodCompany Foundation and the 2011 merger with Karma Currency Foundation. Its go-to-market combines a sales-led enterprise motion (from AUD $0.50 per staff member per month, with managed setup and 24-hour inquiry response) with a product-led self-service tier (GoodCompany Go, free with 14-day trial) targeting smaller organizations. Charity registration is free, with an optional AUD $330/year fee for charities wanting to accept donations.

The company is founder-led by CEO Ash Rosshandler, employs 11-50 people, and is headquartered in South Melbourne, Australia. It has facilitated over $50 million in donations and 275,000+ volunteer hours across 2,500+ registered charities and 100,000+ corporate members. Ancillary products include Volunteer Mystery Bus (team-building), GoodCompany Certified (employer badge), and the Chooseday wellbeing content initiative launched in 2024.

Product overview

GoodCompany is a unified all-in-one workplace giving and volunteering SaaS platform, architected around a core Workplace Giving Solutions platform with multiple integrated modules and sub-products.

Direct peers

• Benevity: Global market leader in corporate volunteering and giving software, serving enterprise CSR programs. Most direct international competitor to GoodCompany with a unified payroll giving, volunteering, matching, and reporting platform across multiple geographies.
• Bright Funds: Workplace giving and employee engagement platform for mid-market and enterprise customers, with payroll giving, volunteer management, and charitable match programs. Comparable in product scope to GoodCompany's unified giving platform.
• Good2Give: Australian workplace giving nonprofit that facilitates pre-tax payroll donations to charities, operates the Workplace Giving Australia program, and runs a charity directory. Most direct AU/NZ competitor to GoodCompany with overlapping DGR/ACNC-compliant donation infrastructure.
• United Way Worldwide: Global federated giving organization that aggregates workplace giving donations from corporate employees and channels them to local charities. Closest functional analog to GoodCompany's workplace giving intermediary model in the US market.
• Bonterra (formerly CyberGrants / YourCause / Network for Good): US-based CSR and grants management platform serving enterprise corporate giving, employee volunteering, and disaster relief programs. Competes directly with GoodCompany in the unified corporate giving software category, particularly for multinational employers.
• Millie: Workplace giving and donation platform facilitating pre-tax payroll giving with a charity network. Closest direct US-based peer to GoodCompany in terms of focused workplace giving product positioning and payroll integration.

Others

• Submittable: Grant and application management platform used by foundations and corporations to administer giving programs. Adjacent rather than directly competing; relevant as a workflow layer some GoodCompany customers may already use alongside its platform.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Large nonprofit software provider offering corporate social responsibility, grants management, and employee giving solutions as part of a broader nonprofit/education technology portfolio. Less specialized than GoodCompany but competes for the same enterprise CSR software budget.
• Salesforce.org Philanthropy Cloud: Enterprise CSR platform from Salesforce offering employee giving, volunteering, and grantmaking integrated with the Salesforce ecosystem. A broad incumbent rather than a workplace-giving specialist, but increasingly competitive for large enterprise customers.

Regional players

• Charities Aid Foundation: UK-based charity facilitating workplace giving, payroll donations, and Gift Aid. Operates a comparable DGR-equivalent (Gift Aid) framework in a different geography, making it functionally analogous to GoodCompany's model outside AU/NZ.
