Charities
Here at Ideaseed, we like to share the love! Here are the fine charities and institutions our resident genie-in-a-bottle enjoys granting wishes for. (What, your office didn’t come standard with one?)
When it comes to helping sick kids, you can bet your bottom dollar that Ideaseed gives a buck. I Give A Buck is a children’s charity that works magic with that dollar of yours. Just $1 and ta-dah! Every cent of it goes towards injecting a little ‘Abracadabra!’ into the life of kids in need. In fact, your one buck purchases you a big feathery set of angel wings when you come to the rescue of terminally ill and special needs children in Australia who need equipment and services now, now, NOW! Visit www.igiveabuck.org to sign up, hand over your $1 and join the online community.
Ideaseed is a ‘not so secret’ admirer of the Australian chapter of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We really are bona fide bunny huggers. Cat huggers. Dog huggers. Chicken huggers. You get the picture. Across the country, every year, some 144 000 animals who are lost, abandoned or neglected, find a safe haven at an RSPCA shelter. Guardians of the welfare of all creatures great and small, this most-deserving animal charity regularly tugs on Ideaseed’s heart strings and if we could, we’d surround ourselves with every single last animal at the shelter. However, OH&S has prevented us from fulfilling this dream, so instead we contribute our skills and money to improving the lives of our furry friends. Read more about how you can help, too, here.
Who wouldn’t take up the opportunity to be someone’s personal fairy godmother? The Starlight Children’s Foundation brightens the lives of seriously ill children and their families, granting each a special wish that supporters like Ideaseed help make a reality. Not only does that little sprinkle of fairy dust help boost these kiddies’ spirits, it’s good for the soul. The Starlight Children’s Foundation has a wish list of wonderful opportunities you could also be a part of – take a peek here.
Just like the tagline says: ‘Good happens!’ Ideaseed volunteers over at goodcompany, an inspired initiative that connects professionals and their skills, with community groups in need of those skills. Since 2001, goodcompany has facilitated more than $8.5 million worth of pro bono services! Now that’s how you make good things happen – and we’re proud to be at the giving end.
You know you’d like to be, you know, charitable and stuff… but there are just so many organisations out there! Where to begin? Easy! You point your mouse at charity gifts australias website and it is all there: from Oxfam to Greenpeace, adopting an animal to sponsoring a child in need. It’s never been so easy to give. Ideaseed loves, loves, LOVES this concept.
