FAQ - For-Purpose Organisations

What is Greatest Good?

Greatest Good is a directory, community and marketplace, where individuals and organisations can find, engage with, and support For-Purpose Organisation aligned with their values. They search their values (impact areas, organisation, location, etc) to find you. They can then shop with, donate to, find courses and events you are offering, find paid and volunteer roles, and collaborate with you, all on the one website. It is a one-stop hub for everyone to do their greatest good.

We offer different membership subscriptions to allow for the different sizes and offerings of for-purpose organisations. All memberships are offered via annual subscription.

Check out the membership options for the subscription offerings, fees and related information.

What is a For-Purpose Organisation?
