At Jivaro, we’re not only passionate about connecting the best talent with leading brands but also about making a positive impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we’re excited to be part of the MYER Community Fund’s Precious Metal Gala, one of the most anticipated black-tie events of the year!

This year’s gala brings together MYER, the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, and 58 other remarkable charities, all working towards a single, powerful goal—helping kids who have experienced violence and trauma recover, heal, and thrive. It’s heartwarming to see the difference this event has made over the past 17 years, having raised over $14 million to support young people through their healing journeys.

The funds raised by the MYER Community Fund have been instrumental in providing children with the care, resources, and support they need to rebuild their lives. We’re proud to stand alongside such an incredible organisation that is deeply committed to making the world a better place for the next generation.

For Jivaro, participating in events like this is more than just about being present—it’s about actively supporting the initiatives that are closest to our hearts. We believe in giving back, and we’re honoured to have the opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause.

A huge shout out to the MYER Community Fund for their ongoing dedication and hard work!

We’re thrilled to celebrate with them and look forward to many more years of collaboration in helping children overcome adversity and find hope for a brighter future.

Stay tuned for more updates from the Jivaro team as we continue to support meaningful events like this one!

Yesterday, Jivaro proudly hosted the 2024 Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea in support of Cancer Council Australia. It was a fantastic event that brought our team together for an important cause—raising funds for cancer research, prevention, and support services provided by Cancer Council.

Over cups of tea and delicious treats, we had the chance to reflect on the vital work being done to help those affected by cancer and to contribute to the efforts that make a real difference in the lives of so many Australians.

At Jivaro, we’re committed to giving back, and hosting Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is just one way we can help raise awareness and much-needed funds for cancer research. We’re incredibly proud of the generosity and support shown by our team and community, and we look forward to continuing to support this cause in the future.

The Jivaro team was honoured to attend the MYER Community Fund Precious Metal Gala 2023, an event dedicated to supporting the Alannah & Madeline Foundation and over 58 charities across Australia. This prestigious evening was a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back and making a positive social impact, especially for children and young people who have experienced violence and trauma.

We had the privilege of hosting the wonderful Daniel Cavedon, his wife Ellen, and the MYER HR Team, making the night even more special as we celebrated the incredible work MYER is doing to help young people recover, heal, and grow. It was an unforgettable experience to be part of such a meaningful cause, knowing that our valued client, MYER, is at the forefront of efforts to create lasting social change.

At Jivaro, we believe in giving back to the community in every way we can. Yesterday, our Melbourne office had the heartwarming opportunity to volunteer at The Lost Dogs Home, a fantastic organisation dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their families and providing care to animals in need.

Our team spent the day working together to prepare essential care kits for the animals, ensuring they have the supplies needed while they wait to be reunited with their owners or find their forever homes. It was a highly rewarding experience to contribute to such an important cause and support an organisation that makes a real difference in the lives of countless pets and their families.

And, of course, no visit to The Lost Dogs Home would be complete without plenty of cuddles! Our team got to spend time with some beautiful puppies and kittens, which was a joy for everyone involved.

At Jivaro, we’re always looking for ways to make a positive impact, and this experience left our Melbourne team feeling inspired and grateful to contribute to the incredible work of The Lost Dogs Home. We look forward to continuing our support for this wonderful organisation and making a difference in the lives of pets and people alike.

At Jivaro, corporate philanthropy is an essential part of who we are. Yesterday, our wonderful Sydney team had the privilege of volunteering at Thread Together, an organisation dedicated to providing brand new, unsold clothing to people facing tough circumstances. By partnering with charities and social service agencies, Thread Together helps ensure that vulnerable and marginalised members of the community have access to the essential clothing they need.

In Australia, over 3.5 million people lack access to basic clothing, a sobering reality that affects one in eight adults and one in six children. Thread Together’s mission to redistribute unsold garments to those in need makes a tangible difference in the lives of many.

Our Jivaro team was thrilled to lend a hand by helping pick and pack clothing orders that will soon be delivered to people across the country. The experience was not only fulfilling but also a powerful reminder of the importance of working together to support our community’s most vulnerable members.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to assist the amazing team at Thread Together. These experiences strengthen our commitment to making a difference, collaborating as a team, and giving back to the community in meaningful ways.

Last Friday, our wonderful Melbourne team had the privilege of volunteering at Collingwood Children’s Farm, an organisation dedicated to promoting social inclusion through programs that foster self-esteem, self-worth, and a sense of community. We spent the morning with Dave, preparing the farm for their 21st annual fundraising bonfire and learning about the rich history of this special place.

Corporate team experiences like ours are vital to the ongoing sustainability of the farm’s programs. The contributions of volunteers help Collingwood Children’s Farm tackle important issues such as climate change and support those facing adversity by building a strong, connected community.

We had a fantastic time working together in such a beautiful environment, knowing that our efforts play a small part in supporting the farm’s mission. If your company is looking for a meaningful way to give back, we highly recommend getting involved with the Collingwood Children’s Farm Corporate Volunteering Program.

At Jivaro, we’re passionate about making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Last Friday, our amazing Sydney team had the opportunity to volunteer with OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. OzHarvest plays a critical role in collecting quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivering it to over 1,300 charities across the country, ensuring it reaches those who need it most.

Our team dove right into the action, learning firsthand about the staggering issue of food waste in Australia. We were shocked to discover that 90% of the ingredients we used throughout the day were rescued food—perfectly good produce and items that would have otherwise gone to waste. It was an eye-opening experience to see just how much edible food is discarded daily and how these rescued ingredients could be turned into nutritious meals.

We split into two teams, each tasked with creating delicious, wholesome meals. It was a fantastic team-building exercise, but more importantly, these meals were prepped and ready to be delivered to shelters and people in need. Over the weekend, these meals were distributed to ensure that the rescued food reached those who needed it most. In addition to hands-on experience in the kitchen, our team also gained valuable knowledge about reducing food waste in our own homes. From simple tips like smarter grocery shopping to better meal planning, we learned practical ways to make a difference in our daily lives.

The day with OzHarvest was not only incredibly rewarding but also a powerful reminder of the importance of sustainability and resourcefulness. We are so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a vital cause and support OzHarvest’s incredible mission of reducing food waste and feeding those in need.

Jivaro is committed to giving back to the community, and this experience has deepened our dedication to supporting initiatives that drive meaningful change. Thank you, OzHarvest, for having us—we can’t wait to continue working together!

At Jivaro, corporate philanthropy is at the heart of our culture. We believe that investing our time, resources, and efforts into giving back strengthens not only our team but the wider community. As part of this commitment, we’ve partnered with Bear Cottage Children’s Hospice, offering our employees opportunities to engage in corporate volunteering that’s both meaningful and impactful.

Last week, our Sydney team had the privilege of participating in a working bee at Bear Cottage. The day was filled with activities that brought us closer as a team while contributing to a wonderful cause. We worked together to craft gifts for their upcoming thank-you evening and lent a hand with garden maintenance, ensuring the hospice’s outdoor spaces were as inviting and comforting as possible for the children and their families. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to know that our efforts would help bring a smile to many faces.

Our partnership with Bear Cottage doesn’t stop there. As part of our philanthropic efforts, we are ambitiously striving to set a Guinness World Records title for the largest gathering of people air guitaring! This fun and spirited initiative is linked to our fundraising goals for Bear Cottage, with participation extended to our entire Jivaro community. We believe that, by coming together in support of this great cause, we can not only set a world record but also raise significant funds for the incredible work Bear Cottage does every day.

The Jivaro team is grateful for the opportunity to support Bear Cottage through these initiatives. We take pride in knowing that our contributions—whether through volunteering or fundraising—are making a real difference in the lives of children and families in need.

Last Thursday, the Jivaro community came together for an exciting attempt to set a Guinness World Records title for the largest gathering of people air guitaring simultaneously via Zoom. While we didn’t break the record this time, we had an unforgettable experience filled with fun, laughter, and plenty to celebrate! 🎸

At Jivaro, we are deeply committed to using our platform to make a positive impact and give back to the community that supports us. We are thrilled to announce that through our air guitar event, we raised an incredible $11,158 for Bear Cottage Children’s Hospice—the only children’s hospice in NSW. Bear Cottage provides vital care and support to children with life-limiting illnesses and their families, and we couldn’t be prouder of the Jivaro community for helping us achieve this phenomenal result.

Reflecting on the event, our CEO and Founder, Chantelle James, shared her thoughts: “Recently, our team had the opportunity to visit Bear Cottage and assist their staff for the day. This was an extremely rewarding and eye-opening experience, which made this event and the donations gained very important to us. Thank you to our Jivaro community—because of you, we were able to raise an incredible $11,158 for a great cause.”

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated and supported this initiative. Bear Cottage Children’s Hospice expressed their heartfelt thanks: “We are truly grateful to Jivaro and their community for raising a phenomenal amount for Bear Cottage, and in such a fun and ‘rocking’ way! These funds will enable us to keep doing what we do, creating a home away from home for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Thank you.”

If you couldn’t attend our air guitar event last week, there’s still time to make a difference! You can continue supporting this important cause by visiting our donation page here: Donate to Bear Cottage.

We’d also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our valued clients, candidates, family, and friends for their ongoing support in making this event possible.
