One Light Charity Foundation was established by Bartercard in 2011 to represent all members and support member registered charities. One Light has raised and granted over T$3 million for our communities including the Bushfires, Townsville Floods, Drought and Adopt a Farmer.
As a consumer, stakeholder, or employee, your emotions and decisions are driven by your personal beliefs. It shouldn’t be surprising that many people care a lot about things like their community and environment.
That’s why more and more businesses are launching initiatives to be more Corporately Socially Responsible (CSR). Your customers, employees, stakeholders all demand it.
While CSR is typically considered a practice for large international businesses, many small and medium businesses (SMBs) are also starting to practice social responsibility and reap the benefits.
Every member of our Charity team is a specialist in his or her field. Together, we operate a very lean cost structure, utilising volunteer and sponsored resources. Together we will make maximum impact investments in our communities on behalf of our Donors who want to see more funds flow towards solving pressing social needs on the front lines.
The power of modern bartering is that now your Business can be socially responsible and conserve cash by donating Trade Dollars to Charity.
One Light Charity Foundation Limited “OLC” is an Australian registered charity foundation and partners with over 10,000 businesses to help combat extreme suffering in their local communities.
OLC was established in 2011 and has been approved by the Australian Tax Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient, meaning that donors can, subject to tax law, claim a tax deduction for donating to the Foundation.
OLC is different to other charities as it also accepts donations in trading stock, property, services, Bartercard trade dollars and cryptocurrencies in addition to cash. Furthermore, it supports a wide cross section of Australian Registered Charities, particularly those that have great causes but struggle to gain national prominence for funding.
The value of donations is fully applied to Charities that have lodged a grant application to support a cause that meets the OLC criteria. Grants will be paid in Bartercard trade dollars in conjunction with a spending plan to achieve specific project outcomes.
Bartercard is a simple, flexible barter system that converts slow moving stock, downtime, spare capacity or vacant seats into extra sales.
