Ready for a fresh look at ethical fundraising? Buckle up, because we have something special in store for you!

Goodturn is a cooperative that collaborates in a unique way with 5 Belgian NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that are committed to ethical face-to-face fundraising. 🧑 🤝 🧑 Concrete? It's about recruiting donors on the street, but not just like that! The Goodturn touch emphasizes the quality and sustainable connection between the donor and the NGO. A groundbreaking project on a global scale! 🌍

To achieve this, Goodturn's ambassadors work for and by the NGOs. They are fully immersed in their missions by being trained directly within these organisations, and their dedication contributes directly to the missions of NGOs such as Greenpeace Belgium, Foundation against Cancer, Amnesty International Flanders, Plan International Belgium and Oxfam Belgium. 🧡 And it gets even better! Goodturn was named the ethical fundraiser by the Association de la collecte de fonds éthique (RE-EF) at an international conference. Now that's recognition!

What do they want to achieve in the long term? Nothing less than transforming the market for face-to-face fundraising to a more sustainable system, with more resources going directly to the NGOs to support their important missions. 🌟A small act with international impact, within a dynamic team that believes that things can and must be done better!

A taste of the team

Whether you are new to fundraising, have experience or are still studying, Goodturn welcomes anyone who feels called to be an agent of change. Founded in September 2023 and opened in February 2024, the cooperative can already count on a solid, supportive and committed team, fervently believing in the impact it can have on a daily basis!

The team is still young but has no shortage of anecdotes : it is said that the internet installer has never managed to remove his drill from the wall and that it still adorns the room... A palpable connection in every sense of the word! 😄 In this regard, we were told that the discussions between the heads of the NGOs and the Goodturn ambassadors were as qualitative as a very high-speed connection... And you know what we're looking forward to? It is this unifying link between them: the team participates in "Motivation Days" within the NGOs in order to get to know them better, Goodturn evenings are regularly organized to bring together all the ambassadors and NGOs around a drink,... A start-up spirit that rubs shoulders with the largest NGOs in Belgium, an ethical win-win as we like them! 🙌

What makes Goodturn's employé.es different from identical organizations? Here, we are not looking to make a profit or to have as many registrations as possible at the end of the day. The values conveyed by the cooperative are felt in the streets: the ambassadors are trained to find quality donors, ready to support them in the long term, while always working with honesty and integrity. Inclusion is also a value dear to Goodturn: every employee must feel at home! In addition, as the start-up is in the early stages, anyone can contribute with their own ideas to increase their impact! Isn't life beautiful?

And finally, Goodturn is particularly attentive to the well-being of its employé.es. Flexible working hours (in hours and days), attractive salary package, growth opportunities within Goodturn and in the NGO sector, training,... Having an impact is good, as well as good! 🙏
