Giving

Where the gift actually lands.

Every meeting sends a real gift to a charity the executive chooses. This page is the whole of it: how the money moves, the terms it runs on, and how anyone can verify it independently.

The giving promise

The money path, exactly.

The gift is delivered to the executive's chosen charity within 14 days of the meeting, and confirmed in writing.

Each meeting is one flat $1,500 fee, paid by the vendor. The charity's share rises with how many meetings the vendor takes across the year, and we publish the split at every tier.

What a meeting actually does.

One held meeting directs $900 to $1,200 to a charity the executive chooses. Here is what that supports at three of the causes leaders can choose.

Royal Flying Doctor Service

Emergency and primary health care across rural and remote Australia. A gift here supports the aeromedical aircraft and medical equipment that keep the service flying.

headspace

Early intervention mental health support for young people aged 12 to 25, through headspace centres across Australia plus online and phone services.

Research, prevention and support across every area of every cancer, including the free, confidential Cancer Council 13 11 20 support service.

These descriptions come from the charities' own materials, not ours, and we quote no figures they have not published. Every gift is confirmed in writing, and DGR status means you can verify each one on the public register.

The terms

What we commit to, in plain words.

The conditions the giving runs on. These are deliberate, and they are the same for everyone.

  1. 1A real gift is sent to the chosen charity for every meeting that is actually held. The executive never pays.
  2. 2Once a meeting takes place the donation is committed and is paid within 14 days, regardless of the commercial outcome of the conversation.
  3. 3Each meeting is one flat $1,500 fee paid by the vendor. The charity receives $900 to $1,200 of it, rising with the number of meetings the vendor takes across the year, and we publish the split at every tier.
  4. 4Only deductible gift recipient (DGR) endorsed Australian charities are eligible, so every gift goes to a recognised cause and is publicly verifiable.
  5. 5The executive receives written confirmation that the gift was made.
  6. 6The executive chooses from our curated shortlist, or nominates any other DGR-endorsed Australian charity, which we verify and add before their first meeting. They can change the choice at any time, including per meeting. We never assign one.
  7. 7If a vendor behaves badly in a meeting, the gift is still paid in full; the vendor loses access.
What DGR means

Why it has to be DGR.

Deductible gift recipient is the Australian Taxation Office's higher-bar endorsement, listed on the public register. It is a stricter standard than charity registration alone.

  • Every gift goes to a charity that meets the ATO's higher endorsement bar
  • DGR status is public and checkable, so nothing rests on our word
  • It keeps every gift traceable to a recognised Australian cause
  • It removes any grey area about where the money went
The executive chooses

Their conversation. Their cause.

The executive directs where their charity's share goes. We never assign a charity for them.

Nominate

Choose from our curated shortlist, or name any other DGR-endorsed Australian charity. We verify and add it before your first meeting. The cause is yours to pick, not ours to suggest.

Change freely

Switch your nominated charity at any time, and nominate a different one for each individual meeting.

Confirmed in writing

You receive written confirmation that the gift was made, within 14 days of the meeting.

Founding executives have pointed the giving at causes like these. The list is illustrative; the choice is always yours.

Health & medical research
Education & young people

Community & crisis relief
Animal welfare
Any other DGR-endorsed cause
Where your gift can go

Questions

On the giving.

If yours is not here, raise it on the call.

What is DGR, in plain terms?
Deductible gift recipient is an endorsement from the Australian Taxation Office. A charity that holds it appears on the ATO's public register, and gifts to it are tax deductible. Not every registered charity has it, which is why we require it.
Can an executive pick a charity that is not DGR-endorsed?
No. Executives choose from our curated shortlist of DGR-endorsed Australian charities, and can nominate any other DGR-endorsed charity, which we verify and add before their first meeting. DGR is a deliberate limit. It keeps every gift verifiable on the public register, with no grey area about where money went.
What if the meeting does not go well?
The donation is still paid in full within 14 days. It is committed once the meeting happens, regardless of the commercial outcome. A vendor who behaves badly loses access, but the gift to the charity is never clawed back.
Are the charities shown here your partners?
No. The names shown are well-known examples to illustrate the kind of organisation that qualifies. They have no affiliation with TheGoodIntro. The executive chooses from our curated shortlist, and may nominate any other DGR-endorsed Australian charity.
How do I know the money arrived?
You receive written confirmation that the gift was made, within 14 days of the meeting. The charity's share is set by the tier and paid in full.
