This Giving Tuesday, we wanted to try something different.
By living out our “be the change you seek :bethechange: ” value, we are empowering Atlassians
to be their own Mini Fundraisers. The month long campaign encourages Atlassians to tap into
their own networks, form little fundraising teams, promote and raise much need funds for the
causes that they are most passionate about.
So how does it work?
Participation is really simple: employees need to set up (or join) a team of 5-10 other Atlassians,
find a cause that they are passionate about and promote the opportunity to raise funds. Most
opportunities aren’t big or elaborate but they drive team engagement and some healthy
competition. After all, there are some limited edition personalised apparel (hoodies) up for grabs
for the team that can attract the most number of donors.
Just in the first week of launching, we have over 300+ Atlassians joining different teams with
causes ranging from doggie rescues to multiple causes like End Homelessness or The Hunger
Project.
With this we’re hoping Atlassians can reach out and create impact not just for their
causes but also with their fellow colleagues and maybe enjoy the holidays wearing some
warm and nice hoodies with their teams.
