After 11 years at the helm, Lisa Grinham has announced she will step down as CEO of Good2Give to take up the position of CEO of the St.George Foundation, which includes the Bank of Melbourne Foundation and BankSA Foundation.
During her time at Good2Give, Lisa led the organisation through a significant digital transformation, securing its position as Australia’s leading corporate giving technology and services provider. Under her leadership, Good2Give expanded its impact on Australian and New Zealand philanthropy, from facilitating donations of $5M to nearly $30M annually.
Key to Good2Give’s success was the creation of what is now Australia’s leading Workplace GivingPlatform, as well as the delivery of market-leading Foundations, Corporate Grants, and Advisoryprograms and services. Working with more than 20 per cent of ASX100 listed companies, Good2Give has grown to become Australia’s leading corporate giving service provider.
Lisa’s commitment to collaboration created industry-leading strategic partnerships with GoFundraise, Communiteer, and Quest Payment Systems, increasing donor accessibility and giving options to provide the most extensive product offering in the market. Most recently, Lisa championed the merger ofGood2Give with ShareGift Australia, unlocking an additional source of low-cost income for charities.
Good2Give’s Board Chair, Michael Graf, commented “Lisa’s commitment to innovation has been the key to Good2Give achieving our current position as market leaders of best practice technology, services and governance for charitable giving. Whilst we are sad to see Lisa move on, we’re delighted for her, knowing she’ll continue to make a genuine impact on Australian philanthropy.”
Reflecting on her time with Good2Give, Lisa says “I could never have imagined the community impact Good2Givewould have when I joined the organisation 11 years ago. Creating a ‘fintech for good’, I am so proud we have delivered more than $275 million to communities in need. We’ve challenged the status quo delivering true innovation in giving for Australian and New Zealand companies, individuals, and charities. I am immensely proud of the team, and what we have achieved together. I’m thrilled that I can continue to be a workplace giving donor myself in my new role.“
