Expanding the Pledge 1% Network in APAC

Pledge 1 — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 18:14:29 GMT

Are you interested in getting involved in helping Pledge 1% expand in APAC? Then please join us for this interactive workshop on June 28th, at 2:00pm-3:00pm AEST.

We’ll present one concept, focusing on mentoring and keynote talks by Pledge 1% members at start-up Hubs. We're aiming to inspire start-up founders to build in Pledge 1% right from the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey.

RSVP TODAY

We’d welcome your feedback at the workshop on the concept, and also any contributions at/before/following the workshop (e.g. introductions to start-up Hub CEOs/founders, or offers to volunteer as a mentor or speaker to participate in the initiative).

We also want to hear your ideas on other ways to expand Pledge 1% in APAC. Are there some low-hanging fruit that we’re missing?

Please send through questions and suggestions here.

Certainly interested in expanding the initiative in APAC. Unfortunately, cannot join the workshop that time.

We at DataColada are endeavouring to get to pledge 10% in the next two years and are looking to close this financial year ending 30th June 2022 at pledge 6.5%. Much of the work we need to do is around allowing each staff member make conscious and intentional choices on how and where they want to spend their time to make their contributions most impactful.

Hi @Shrav

What an amazing achievement already and an impressive giving goal for the future.

The APAC workshop went well and we have two start-up hubs already willing to provide speaking slots at events, and several of the workshop attendees have volunteered to be keynote speakers at these events to talk about their start-up journey, why they incorporated giving into their business and why they joined Pledge1%. If you are interested in contributing as a speaker or making an intro to a start-up hub, please message me directly.

Regards, Mangala
