Sage Foundation

At Sage we’re helping break down barriers to digital and economic equality so that everyone can thrive. The work Sage Foundation does is central to our purpose and we know how important it is to support our communities, programs and fundraising efforts year on year. Over the last five years, we have built an action-oriented volunteering program with Sage colleagues giving over 120,000 working days – time that we have invested into our local communities across 22 markets. By giving our time, capability, and investment, we’ve built routes into education, and supported work readiness for young people, women, and military veterans.

2020 marked the fifth year of doing good in our local community and in that time we have given 120,000 working days to local communities across 22 markets. Throughout 2020 we have continued to raise money towards our fundraising target of $2million by 2022 and as we have all adjusted to a new home working routine, it has been great to see continued commitment and passion for fundraising and volunteering activities, and the dedication to supporting our customers, communities and each other.

Everyone needs a helping hand to prosper. Our funding supports initiatives that deliver support to our local communities and the people that make them. We know that non-profit organisations need funding now, so they can take action - whatever tomorrow brings.

Sage Foundation runs a number of programmes, both fundraising and educational, ranging from raising money to support the homeless, helping those affected by the Australian bushfires and supporting charities providing aid during the Covid-19 pandemic.

As we have all adjusted to a new home working routine, it has been encouraging to see a continued commitment and passion for fundraising and volunteering activities, and the dedication to supporting our customers, communities and each other. Whilst we continue to offer discounted software to eligible charities, social enterprises and non-profit organisations, we complement this with financial management tools, training and an online community hub. Supporting Sage’s strategic lens of customer success, this enables non-profit organisations to save time, reduce costs, eliminate errors and achieve compliance.
