Find Your Purpose: How Partnerly is Revolutionising Corporate Philanthropy
Welcome to Partnerly, Australia’s pioneering connection platform designed to forge powerful, purpose-driven partnerships between the for-profit and non-profit worlds. In an era where consumers and employees alike demand authentic action, Partnerly provides the essential bridge. The process is elegantly simple: non-profit organisations can list their causes, initiatives, and projects—whether large-scale environmental efforts or local community programs—completely free of charge. These listings form a dynamic, searchable marketplace of purpose. On the other side, forward-thinking corporations of any size can seamlessly search for and discover missions that align perfectly with their brand values and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) objectives. Once a match is made, Partnerly facilitates the initial connection and then steps back, empowering the two parties to build direct, transparent, and long-lasting partnerships on their own terms.
This innovative model, akin to a strategic dating app for social impact, delivers profound benefits for businesses that extend far beyond a tax deduction. Companies that authentically integrate charitable partnerships into their core strategy see remarkable returns. In the short term, 87% of employees report a stronger sense of pride and loyalty when their company supports a cause, transforming team morale through organised volunteer opportunities. Furthermore, 66% of consumers prefer to buy from brands that are committed to social responsibility, directly boosting customer acquisition and retention. In the long term, these partnerships are a powerful engine for hitting ambitious CSR and ESG targets, enhancing brand reputation, and future-proofing the business. They provide compelling narratives for marketing, create unique staff initiatives that attract top talent, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the community that resonates deeply with all stakeholders.
Partnerly operates on a uniquely fair and sustainable model. There is absolutely no cost for non-profits to join, list their causes, and manage their ongoing partnerships through their personalised account dashboard. For our corporate partners, the platform is free to browse and connect. Partnerly only succeeds when a partnership does; we simply take a small, transparent percentage of any formal sponsorship arranged through the platform within the first 12 months. This ensures our goals are perfectly aligned with yours: to create successful, impactful, and enduring collaborations that truly make a difference. It’s a new, amazing, and uniquely Australian solution designed to unlock the immense potential of strategic giving.

Costs & Our Business Model

It is completely free to join Partnerly, create a profile, and post or browse partnership opportunities. We believe in removing barriers to creating community impact.
7. How does Partnerly make money if it’s free to join?
Our goal is to succeed only when you do. Partnerly operates on a success-based model:

- This is managed through a simple contractual agreement between Partnerly and the non-profit organisation.
- After the initial 12-month period, 100% of the partnership revenue is handled directly between the business and the non-profit, with no further involvement or fees from us. We’ve simply provided the foundation for a lasting partnership.
