our story
We’re building a transparent, inspiring & personalised way to make change
Why we started?
When you notice something in your community that needs to change, what do you do?
Do you shout at the TV, thinking ‘someone should do something about this’? Or perhaps you vent online about how broken the system is and how people just don’t ‘get it’?
What if, instead of that, we all stepped up to take action—big or small?
Around the world, millions of people are already doing exactly that. We created Heart Giving Association for them. To make fundraising incredibly simple. To help them find a supportive community of like-minded individuals. And to provide everyone with a more transparent and effective way to create the world we want to see.
