For businesses & PAFs
Friendship Tree spreads your contribution across a portfolio of independently vetted organisations working on the ground, so you support a range of causes, sectors and communities in one act of giving. Every organisation is assessed before it joins the platform, and the reporting gives you verified numbers and named organisations.
Philanthropic funds and trusts partner with us the same way.
Businesses want to back organisations doing real work on the ground, but rarely have the resource to confirm that funding will be managed safely, transparently and effectively. Completing the governance, financial and reputational checks in-house is a significant undertaking, so recognised names become the easier choice by default.
Friendship Tree removes that barrier. We do the assessment, we do the monitoring, and we report back.
Many organisations creating meaningful impact face challenges attracting sustainable funding, regardless of their size, sector, or profile. By giving with Friendship Tree, your business can support a diverse portfolio of high-impact organisations while benefiting from a trusted approach to due diligence, impact assessment, and ongoing reporting.
We help connect funding with opportunities to create meaningful and measurable change across communities in Australia.
Fund a whole portfolio, so the choice between causes never lands on your desk. Give your people visibility of the causes the business supports, across a program broader than a single partnership. And your community story rests on a portfolio, with a quarterly impact to talk about.
A quarterly update showing where your contribution went and what it delivered, in real numbers from the organisations themselves. Multiple impact areas covered in a single report, with a documented history of your giving across causes and communities. You will know exactly which organisations your contribution supported.
Every organisation is assessed against five criteria before it joins the platform: governance, financial health, strategy and impact, people and partners, and media and reputation. Assessment runs in three stages — intake and verification, an initial suitability screen, then full due diligence drawing on regulatory disclosures, financial reporting, published policies and credible third-party sources, applied consistently to every organisation. Every contribution is reported back, documented and usable in your own reporting.
Your contribution funds the organisations on the platform, and we plant trees as well. Real trees in Australian restoration projects that you and your people can visit. Over time, the collective canopy grown by the Friendship Tree community becomes a cumulative record of every partnership, building on the impact you are already making.
Friendship Tree has a structured approach to assessing the suitability of potential charity partners. Our process is designed to ensure that all organisations are evaluated consistently, transparently, and in alignment with our values, impact pillars, risk appetite and partnership requirements.
Corporate giving done well is not complicated. It just requires the right infrastructure. Friendship Tree provides that infrastructure and we bring a standard of rigour to it that most companies cannot replicate internally.
If you want your giving to be something your business is genuinely proud of, we would like to talk.
