At Good.Co, we believe doing good and giving back should be a fundamental part of every business.
Why we started Good.Co
Good Co was born from a simple idea: giving shouldn’t be an afterthought - it should be built into how business is done.
We saw a disconnect between the business world and the non-profit sector. Many business owners want to give back but don’t know how to start, or can’t find the time to start. On the other side, many non-profits have powerful causes but often lack the tools or confidence to connect meaningfully with businesses.
We knew there had to be a better way. A bridge between good intentions and real impact.
Small businesses are an untapped force for good. With over 2.5 million small businesses in Australia alone, even modest contributions can drive extraordinary change. If each gave just $5,000 a year, that’s $12.5 billion in collective impact - every year.
That’s not change driven by global billionaires. That’s change made by people like us: small businesses with big hearts.
Good.Co exists to help make that possibility a reality. We guide business owners in embedding giving into their models in ways that are practical, aligned, and lasting. And we equip non-profits to confidently build strategic partnerships with the business community.
Together, we’re closing the gap and building a future where doing good is simply part of doing business.
Our Vision
To create a global community of businesses giving back.
Our Mission
Be good. Do good. In good company.
Our Values
At Good.Co, our values set the standard for every connection we help create — from how we work with clients to how we build a better world. They come together in one simple word: GIVE.
Generosity
Giving without expectation, fostering a culture of sharing.
Inclusive
Creating space for every voice and every perspective.
Visionary
Thinking big, building for the future, driving meaningful change to the point it becomes the social norm.
Everlasting
Leaving a legacy that lasts, through actions that impact and endure.
These principles guide our relationships, shape our decisions, and define how we serve businesses and non-profits alike.
Good.Co stands for compassion, acceptance, a judgement-free approach to doing good, and a belief that real change starts with how we treat each other.
