So what's the problem?
Working in charities for nearly a decade, it's hard not to keep asking "What else could I do to make a difference?"
You see, charities need to constantly raise funds to fulfil their mission. I was keen to explore different business models that could create a sustainable income stream to support the great work of Australian health charities.
Is there a solution? Absolutely. When inspiration hits, you run with it. Read all about the back story here.
CARE TO COMPARE is being created to establish a new and sustainable revenue stream for health charities while helping them to diversify their revenue sources.
Health insurers present attractive partnership and sponsorship opportunities for health charities however competition for funding support is high, as limited budgets and priorities may change. Creating a health insurance comparison service where 100% of profits are distributed to its Health Charity Partners:
- helps health charities receive unrestricted funding to cover essential business costs and maintain free prevention and support programs
- creates a broader relationship for the charities and health insurers and enhances the collective benefits
- enables the health insurers to increase their social impact beyond corporate social responsibility by leveraging the impact of CARE TO COMPARE.
Meet our team!
Thanks to the amazing support from the Random Hacks of Kindness community we've established an incredible team of VOLUNTEERS.
The team (pictured here) are the first members of our team and have been there from the beginning, giving up their weeknights and weekends to take an idea and make it a reality. It was the first hack weekend that the team embraced the idea and created a foundation for our future direction. Our second hack weekend and a second milestone was reached - the prototype was getting closer. Excitement hit early 2018 when one Saturday we came together and nailed the first prototype. They're a fab bunch of people who now need your support.
So how can you help?
Team #CareToCompare have been working hard over the last 9 months to create a prototype for the business and now we're ready to kick things into the next gear. With your help we can #StartSomeGood ... and I mean really start. What we're proposing isn't sexy - what can I say, we're an honest bunch :-)
Essentially we're looking for your backing - to give our volunteer team your tick of approval and confidence to deliver the vision.
A little support from you will specifically help cover the essential costs of setting up the CARE TO COMPARE business and begin our registration to become a not-for-profit.
This is a significant milestone for our dedicated group of volunteers - one that will open up next steps for further social impact!
