Forgood
Forgood is an online platform that connects people who want to make a difference to causes that need their help.
On Forgood, you can explore their database of verified charities / non-profit organisations (they call them causes) and volunteer your time and skills, donate goods, donate money, or give back on your terms by creating an offer (based on which they will match you to causes near you). All causes capture exactly what they need and where you can help on the platform. This creates more meaningful matches – allowing you to find something you’re passionate about that a Cause also really needs.
P:S: Forgood is South Africa’s largest corporate and public volunteering platform!
What are the benefits?
- The Forgood consumer site, is open to anyone in the world, that wants to make a difference in society, in a safe manner both virtually or in-person
- The forgood platform Dashboard allows users to manage their commitments, log hours against their work and quality rate every Cause they’ve interacted with
- If you have a specific item or skill which you’d like to donate, but you can’t find a matching Cause, you can give the Offer feature a try. An Offer allows you to give back on your own terms, by listing the skill or resource you have to give and then matching that Offer out to Causes in your interest category and geographic location
- The ratings on forgood are an indicator of how much Causes value your contribution – and how much volunteers/donors value the experiences they have with our Causes. This information allows forgood to highlight and celebrate their best Causes and their best volunteers
