Wynyard Park Private Wealth is a member of B1G1. B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organisation.  Its mission is to create a world that’s full of giving. Unlike conventional charity models, B1G1 embeds giving into everyday business operations. This makes giving simple, habitual and therefore hugely effective.

B1G1 supports over 600 projects globally. Most of them are grass-roots endeavours and all of them are high-impact. The way B1G1 is set up means 100% of what we give goes directly to the projects we select. This was another reason we decided to link up with B1G1. We can (and do) select projects that directly reflect our philosophy.

At Wynyard Park we believe the best way to bring about real change is to help people help themselves. By prioritising projects that focus on income generation and education we hope we can help break cycles of disadvantage and bring about lasting change. Here are some of the projects we’ve backed recently through B1G1.

The Dot Com Mob

  

 

 

The Dot Com Mob work with remote Indigenous communities in Queensland and the Northern Territory helping them to establish and run their own community technology centres. They provide hardware and training so communities can manage the centres themselves and determine what programs they want to run. The Dot Com Mob also provides multimedia and IT training programs to improve educational and employment outcomes for community members.

Microloan Foundation Australia

It is often said that if you help one woman out of poverty she’ll bring four with her. Microloan Foundation Australia’s mission is to help women in Central Africa lift their families out of poverty and help them to become self-supporting. They do this by providing microloans to economically disadvantaged women in Malawi and Zambia. As well as loans, the foundation provides women with business skills such as bookkeeping to enable them to establish, maintain and grow their own businesses.
