Our Community
One of our goals as an organisation is to save the world. Not a small thing. But we know we can’t do that alone so we support organisations who are already doing it. As our programs sometimes involve up to 50 people, there’s a lot of consumables and we try to minimise food waste and are careful about reflecting our values when we purchase goods and services.
We use ‘Who Gives A Crap’ toilet paper on every program – let’s save the planet any way we can: https://blog.whogivesacrap.org
A little bit of their story: We’re a toilet paper company based out of Melbourne, Australia that makes eco-friendly toilet paper out of 100% recycled materials and 100% bamboo. We donate 50% of profits to help build toilets for the 2.3 billion who live without them.
We also use Thank You products whenever we can get them: https://thankyou.co/
A little bit of their story: We’re a social enterprise. We operate like any for profit business, investing in all the things necessary to create great products and stay competitive. The main difference to other for profit companies, is that we commit 100% of Thankyou’s profits to ending extreme poverty. This means we don’t have any private shareholders (never have, never will). Instead, we are 100% owned by the Thankyou Charitable Trust, a registered charitable entity. All of the distributions to Thankyou Charitable Trust are paid out to our project partners to fund sustainable development projects to help end global poverty. We always have and always will exist 100% for ending the effects of global poverty.
When it’s at all possible to get fast food, we prefer Zambrero: https://www.zambrero.com.au/our-story
A little bit of their story: With our Plate 4 Plate initiative you can fill your karma and your belly in one stop. Every burrito or bowl you buy, means one meal donated to someone in need across the globe. With our partners Rise Against Hunger our goal is to donate 1 billion meals by 2025. It’s a win-win.
We’re also supporting the following organisations whenever and however we can:
Mirimar Language Centre, Kununurra: Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring. Their key focus at the Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring is the preservation and revitalisation of Miriwoong Language and Culture in order to protect the language from extinction, and to nurture its use amongst the next generation of Miriwoong people. The MDWg seeks to fulfil this mission by documenting, revitalising and maintaining Miriwoong Language and Culture. We use innovative programs to enable, encourage provide a space in which for Miriwoong people to engage with their Language and share it with the community.
The amazing Kununurra Demons Women’s Football Club! (Go Demons)
12 Buckets: Change a Childs Life by sponsoring or mentoring in the Perth region: https://12buckets.org/
A little bit of their story:
Inspired by the support the founder received during challenging times in his own youth, Travis, along with two friends launched 12 Buckets in 2010 as a way to give back to the community. Starting at Balga Primary School, the program began with in-school mentoring for primary students, quickly demonstrating positive results and expanding with the help of the community.
Today, 12 Buckets thrives through the generosity of individuals, volunteers, donors, local businesses, and councils, remaining steadfast in its mission to foster resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging. As we celebrate 15 years in 2025, the program continues to rely solely on community support, with no government funding, staying true to its 2010 vision of investing in the social and emotional wellbeing of young people needing the support of the 12 Buckets community as they develop their own pathway of purpose. This dedication creates a meaningful impact on individual lives and the broader community.
