Help us help charities drive impactful change in the world!

About
The Donation Co.

We are a donation platform that is tailored towards helping the small to mid-tier charities registered in Australia. These charities set out to do some good work in the world, and not to be continually trying to raise funds that enables them to continue their work … enter The Donation Co. We believe that by being as open, honest and transparent as we can be, we can help these charities try to make the world a little better.

Vision

Our goal is to be the obvious choice in donation platforms, By helping you do some extra good in the world, hopefully the world can become a better place.

Mission

At The Donation Co. Our mission is to reignite the joy of making a positive impact for people, Animals, and the environment. We are committed to creating a new framework of giving by fostering openness, honesty and transparency - By doing this (and with your help) the charities listed on the platform will continue to do the great work that they do.

Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a voice and a platform to the smaller and mid-tier charities, empowering them to raise funds for the causes they passionately dedicate themselves to, fostering meaningful and impactful change.

Why we are different

Transparency

Our pricing model is transparent: just $1 per transaction goes to The Donation Co. We don’t have fees for charities to list with us, No marketing campaigns that need to be funded by the charities and we don’t charge convoluted percentages requiring complex calculations on donations made (to you or the charity). Our approach is straightforward – $1 per transaction, full stop. (standard transaction fees obviously apply, but that’s the banks... Don’t blame us).

Impact

A lot of small to mid-tier charities excel not only in their impactful work but also in their efficient operations. The majority of the charities that use our platform don’t have expensive corporate wage bills, they don’t have teams of paid marketing people or those annoying sales people.
The Donation Co strives to help these dedicated charities, where passionate founders and teams often donate time and expertise, amplyifying the impact of every donation.

The 3rd reason

Believe it or not, We are keeping it as simple as simple can be. Use us or don’t (although you’re already in our neck of the digital woods... so why not stay for a while) but if you do decide to look elsewhere – cool, you are still one of our top 35 favorite people – but do yourself a favor and know how your donation dollar is going to be broken up and to who. And yeah we know this isnt a 3rd reason on why to use us – but the tech wiz built this spot into the design so we had to fill it with some words to avoid an awkward blank space.

Founder

Scott Wycherley

Hi, I am Scott, It is really nice to (kind of) meet you. We are a family of 4 with a dog (that ranks higher than me in the household…but he is ofcourse a good boy). In my previous working life, I worked within the finance sector for roughly 14 years including service, sales and project work. After being retrenched during the covid years - I wanted to start a business of my own. I always liked helping others, so I thought why not create a job for myself that centres around helping others – enter The Donation Co. Not far down this road I realized that I know very little about this online world and how it works, so it has been a journey of reading and learning (and lets be honest, paying other people who know alot more about computers than I do to build the platform) but we got there and The Donation Co was born.
