The Fred Hollows Foundation partners with businesses which contribute to our sight restoring work in many different and creative ways. These businesses are helping their customers make a difference using everyday activities, such as donating loyalty points or shopping for their favourite brand.
1. i=Change
i=Change is a platform that weaves philanthropy into our everyday purchases. This tech platform represents one of the most innovative opportunities to raise funds for NGOs and has created a new and sustainable funding stream for charities like The Fred Hollows Foundation.
Consumers purchase everyday items online - as usual - and then can choose where to send the retailer's $1 donation after checkout. i=Change has raised over $3.4 million for some extraordinary organisations. Retailers that support The Fred Hollows Foundation include Coco and Lola, We are Kindred, Pared Eyewear and SHHH SILK AU.
“100% of donations are sent to carefully selected NGOs, committed to best-practice development”
- Jeremy Meltzer, Founder, i=Change.
2. ShareGift Australia
ShareGift Australia is a public ancillary fund with a purpose to make it easy and cost effective for shareholders to grow philanthropy in Australia through the donation of shares and related proceeds to charity.
Australia has one of the highest levels of share ownership in the world. Each year, more and more Australians are looking to leverage their shareholdings as part of their giving strategy.
If you wish to donate your shares or dividends to The Foundation follow
these steps.
