Be Collective is a social enterprise created by the Wise family is a digital platform designed to mobilise collective goodwill. It is built on the notion that every part of our community has something to offer. It helps to build the capacity of every volunteer and organisation that utilises volunteers. 

For community organisations Be Collective provides: 

  • Free end to end volunteer and event management software that makes administration simpler and enhances the volunteer experience; 

  • Clever reporting tools, data and insights into social impact and engagement to share with stakeholders and funders available in real time. 

  • Volunteers, especially jobseekers, a record of the significant contribution that they are making to change the world through a social resume (see example social resume). 

  • Capacity to broadcast volunteer opportunities to a broader audience and to be promoted and showcased by Rotary.    

Be Collective has a proud and rich heritage with strong local partnerships to deliver powerful outcomes for Australia.
