About us - Give a Day

What is Give a Day?

Give a Day is a cooperative movement with a social purpose. This means that we do not engage in profit distribution, but we do develop economic activities. Our mission is to take volunteering and community service to the next level, inspire 10 million heroes worldwide to volunteer, and connect all actors in society for social impact through volunteer engagement. We do this by providing municipalities, schools, citizens and non-profits with the right IT tools (such as the website for corona & neighbourhood aid called www.impactdays.co or www.giveaday.be with the smart volunteer matcher and volunteer manager for automation of volunteer administration), to match volunteers & other actors in a smart way, to provide policy support around community-oriented care or volunteering, to provide methodologies and to give qualitative modern training.

Our social aim always comes first, unconditionally. Originally we started as a non-profit organisation in 2015. Due to the merge with our French-speaking counterpart TwoDays ASBL and for a far-reaching professionalization, we decided together to establish a social cooperative in September 2018. Thus, 150 cooperators joined to spread solidarity worldwide.

Yesterday we were only active in Flanders, today in Belgium and tomorrow internationally. In 3 years, thanks to our partners, we have grown into the largest volunteer job vacancies & volunteer database in the country. Our joint recipe of partnerships and co-creation for more warmth in society works!

We are going to make the world a better place with our social mission and expertise of our team, but it can only be done with strong equal partnerships with all actors in society and municipalities in particular. We strongly believe that a good mix of the right supporting software with a strong organisational approach can make a world of difference locally. With us, municipalities, non-profits and schools are not customers, but partners in the story of social fairness, solidarity, sustainability and equality. So we never step into a customer-supplier relationship. We do enter into a solidarity partnership.
