Social impact

Giving back is part of how we work.

We back causes the way we'd want to be backed, with time, attention and follow-through. Youngcare has our support, and we're part of Pledge 1%, the movement Salesforce's founders started.

Putting your name behind a cause is the easy part. What matters is giving it your time, turning up and staying with it. That's the kind of support I believe in.

Why Youngcare

We chose one cause, and stayed.

We've backed Youngcare since 2020. Not at arm's length, and not only when there's a cheque to hand over. We fundraise, serve on grant panels and keep showing up.

Youngcare is headquartered in South Brisbane, and so are we. Being neighbours is how it started. It isn't why it lasted, but it does mean we can be there: in the grant room, at the events, close to the work as it happens.

What Youngcare does

Pledge 1%

A Salesforce idea we were happy to get on board with.

Before Salesforce was a year old, its founders set aside 1% of its equity, product and staff time for the community. That became Pledge 1%, a movement any company can join at its own scale. Fluent Group is a member: we pledge 1% of our time and 1% of our profits.

The impact belongs to the people doing the work.

We help make more of that work possible.
