In our efforts to assist Causes and Activists in breaking down the various barriers they are faced with, we are proud to announce that the online community of GreaterGood will be merged with the online fundraising tools provided by GivenGain.  "We have the greatest respect for the work GreaterGood does supporting and profiling the work of the social development sector in South Africa," says GivenGain Foundation South Africa CEO, Colin Habberton. "By integrating the Myggsa community with GivenGain, we are pooling our resources and bringing the sector together at a time when it is most needed."

GreaterGood South Africa is a public service organisation connecting givers with good causes and activating the public to give responsibly. "Non-profit organisations are facing very difficult times at the moment," says GreaterGood's CEO Bridgit Evans. "The fundraising environment is tough, with more competition for funds and shrinking international aid. By merging our trusted online community with the sophisticated fundraising and multi-currency payment processing tools offered by GivenGain, we hope to significantly increase exposure for non-profits as well as help them raise the resources they need to keep delivering services on the ground."

GivenGain and GreaterGood SA will work closely to support the 1,400 organisations registered on Myggsa.co.za as they move to the GivenGain environment, offering free online fundraising training sessions, webinars and support. The integration will be fully completed within a year.  "By joining forces, we hope to make it much easier for people to activate for real, sustainable change in their communities," agrees Habberton.
