Scotland With Kenya - Together for Children

(Melvin donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

This is such a cool charity that reaches rural communities in Kenya that are often overlooked, giving the people there a feeling of love from halfway across the world.

What was it like telling the charity?

It was probably one of the highlights of my year, because they talked me through how far the donation would go to support people who were seriously in need of a helping hand.

How did you feel making the donation?

So grateful to work for a company who doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk.

"It really puts into perspective what an amazing opportunity it is to work for a company like Humanitix, our work directly leads to money creating better lives for people globally."

The Life You Can Save - Women and Girls Fund

(Rose donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

Access to education and healthcare has been instrumental in my own empowerment as a woman in the world. Transparency and intentionality is also important to me, so I wanted to choose a charity that invested in researching effective giving.

What was it like telling the charity?

It felt like hope. It was profoundly meaningful - and quite simply, the right thing to do - to use my own opportunities to now offer the same empowerment to other women and girls.

How did you feel making the donation?

It was such a unique opportunity to give such a meaningful amount - something I might never be capable of anywhere else.

GiveWell Top Charities Fund

(Jenny, Ryan, Ameen & Raph donated in 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

We trust GiveWell’s research-based approach, transparency, and the real impact it has on people’s lives across Africa.

How did you feel making the donation?

It felt incredibly meaningful and uplifting to give more generously through the Humanitix staff giving program - and even more so as a collective, pooling our resources together.

Knowing the money would go toward worthy causes and create real, lasting impact made us feel happy and fulfilled; a reminder that small contributions can change, and even save, lives.

Barbara May Foundation

(Dave, Tash, Nathan & Josh donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

Social connection and a pain-free existence are a birthright, and both are at risk for women with fistula. After learning about how dehumanising fistulas can be, and also how effective and low cost the surgeries are, this seemed like one of the best ways to have a positive impact.

What was it like telling the charity?

It’s special to donate as a group and gift a more meaningful sum, as well as it being an unexpected donation which caught the Barbara May Foundation team by surprise. The key people in the charity spend 10+ months a year in the Horn of Africa, working in horrid conditions, helping people who are suffering immensely.

How did you feel making the donation?

Humbled. Deeply. I’m thankful to work in an organisation who offers us the ability to put our money where our mouth is.

StrongMinds

Shatterproof

(Pierce donated in 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

As someone in recovery, I believe wholeheartedly in their mission to increase access to recovery, prevention, and mental health resources for everyone who needs them.

What was it like telling the charity?

For lack of a better word, I experienced a great deal of gratitude to be able to share with the team the charity I chose and my motivation for choosing Shatterproof.

How did you feel making the donation?

I could see that the work I was doing was making real change, in a real way and for real people. To be part of an organization that allows me to directly take part in our donations is a bright spot in my life that I hope others have the opportunity to participate in. This is the greatest show on earth!

Arboretum Foundation

(Jess donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

It represents my childhood, my home, and the wonders of Seattle’s nature. Growing up, we would spend lots of time at the Arboretum.

My older brother, Josh, was tragically killed in 2021 by an impaired driver, and this loss changed everything for us. The pain and grief were something we could not understand or handle, but one of the only ways to find reprieve was through nature, parks, and walking. Today, my mom continues to walk the Arboretum as she feels it is a safe place to process her thoughts.

What was it like telling the charity?

This was a beautiful and invigorating feeling, to be empowered to make a donation of my choosing, in my own city and backyard.

How did you feel making the donation?

I felt such a joy and honor. The impact we already make through each and every ticket sold in addition to getting to choose a donation of our own is a powerful feeling.

Voyageurs Conservancy

(Mark donated in 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

Growing up spending my summers on Minnesota lakes, I couldn't think of a better place to direct my Humanitix staff donation.

What was it like telling the charity?

It was an honor to call the Conservancy team and share the news of our contribution, especially as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Voyageurs becoming a National Park. This donation helps support the next 50 years (and beyond) of preservation and access.

How did you feel making the donation?

It was surreal to see my daily work translate into a contribution for a place that shaped my life.

OrangeSky

(Sam Nye & Alex donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

The dignity, calm and connection that it brings into people's lives.

What was it like telling the charity?

Sam: It was such a pleasant surprise to learn Alex also chose the same cause. That felt really affirming.

How did you feel making the donation?

It costs around $288 to run a shift - which means $15,000 could cover 52 shifts, or an entire year’s worth of shifts! That's a pretty cool feeling.

"Everyone deserves a safe place to live and grow, a chance to live a healthy and joyful life."

Woven Earth

(Maia, Darren and Onyalie donated in 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

The work they are doing is crucial in ending the perpetual cycle of family violence in Aotearoa. NZ has extremely high rates of domestic violence in the OECD, and even then around 60% is still unreported. Helping victims set up new safe houses where they don't need to stress about finances and necessary household items provides them with much needed stability and a chance to heal.

What was it like telling the charity?

Woven Earth were blown away with our donation as it was a much needed boost for them as their government funding had been cut back. They invited us to spend a day with them setting up an actual home for a survivor of domestic violence. We got to meet the amazing woman moving in and her gratitude was immeasurable.

How did you feel making the donation?

Being able to see the real impact that our donations have on real people in very real situations was incredibly emotional and I still carry the impact of it to this day.

Visionwest

(Blair donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

It was difficult figuring out who to donate to, but I ended up landing on something that felt personal. My mum is a nurse and used to work with Alt-Education kids back during Covid and she mentioned that she frequently worked with a few charities to help kids and their families through tough times. From her experience, it sounded like Visionwest was the most impactful and was providing a visible benefit to those families.

What was it like telling the charity?

Fun, nerve-racking, and vulnerable, especially when we got to talking about the personal reasons behind the donation.

How did you feel making the donation?

Odd and grateful, I’ve never donated a large amount of money all at once and I was grateful that it got to be so personal to me. It was also so heartwarming chatting with my mum after the fact and talking to her about the donation.

"I felt proud to work in a place that enables me to have impact not only in my day-to-day work with event hosts, but also with those that mean a lot to me back in my community."

Grassroots Givers

(Ben donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

I volunteered for them during my high school years, seeing how far their book, clothing and household item donations went for those living on tight margins in the Greater Capital Region. Their commitment to relationship development and outreach in the community was hard to miss, truly trying to make a difference in the lives of families that needed assistance.

What was it like telling the charity?

It was wonderful, telling Roberta and Mary (Grassroots' Co-Founders) - they are the most lovely women ever. They couldn't have been more thankful to receive the donation, and love what we do at Humanitix... turning real experiences into real impact!

How did you feel making the donation?

I have so many reasons to be proud, so it only embellished my desire to grow with Humanitix so we can continue to amplify our impact.

DeadlyScience

(Jake, Andy & Brendon donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

We're nerds who love science, and we want to help DeadlyScience continue to inspire and support Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander STEM learners.

What was it like telling the charity?

It was not what we expected! Corey Tutt's (the founder of DeadlyScience) wife was literally about to give birth, yet he still responded to our email 4 minutes later to thank us.

How did you feel making the donation?

Andy: I'd only joined Humanitix a few months prior, and it was touching to have 2 amazing colleagues offer to pool their funds with me to make a meaningful donation to a wonderful charity. Corey also made a set of clap sticks for our office, which we treasure.

Brendon: Jake and I had a chance to donate a large amount in the previous year. Given that, we thought we'd combine our allotment to give a newbie a chance to make a larger impact on something they believed in.

SisterWorks

(Addie, Ana & Subhechchha donated in 2025 & 2024)

Why did you donate to this charity?

As immigrant women ourselves, we know how tough it can be to start over in a new country without support, friends, or community. SisterWorks gives women a chance to learn, grow, and earn - it's important to help our sisters gain independence financially as well as grow confident in themselves.

What was it like telling the charity?

We gave Tania a call who said our combined donation really made her day! She was so warm and excited - you could tell how much she cared about her work, and that made the experience really special.

How did you feel making the donation?

We all felt really happy and warm inside being migrant women ourselves. Just knowing that even a small contribution can help someone feel more confident and connected made us feel hopeful.

Many Hopes

(Liv donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

I chose this charity because of the real impact it has on young women and children - they rescue them from incredible hardship and actually provide them with the skills and education they need for a fresh start which I thought was fantastic. I wanted to support a cause that doesn't just help people get by, but actively equips them with the tools to rebuild their lives and lead their communities!

What was it like telling the charity?

Seeing first hand the good work that we do and the inspirational people we get to connect with, I felt incredibly proud to be a part of a team like this.

You can't imagine the circumstances they have had to endure, so to be able bring some positivity with a donation was a great feeling.

Metro Caring

(Jake, Bernie & Lindsay donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

Bernie: When I moved to Denver, I started volunteering at Metro Caring on Wednesday nights after work. I wanted to donate to a place where I could see the impact with my own eyes. I look forward to every volunteer shift where I can meet members of the community and facilitate the ops of an awesome org.

What was it like telling the charity?

They were stoked! Their initial reaction was: "that's many months of rice and beans for the community!"

How did you feel making the donation?

I felt like despite all the chaos going on in the world, there is still room for a lot of positivity to take place.

World Central Kitchen

(Nathan & Lindsay donated in 2025)

Why did you donate to this charity?

We were inspired by the clear, simple mission. Providing a cooked meal is one of the most direct ways to show people in crisis that someone cares.

What was it like telling the charity?

It made what we do at work feel more impactful and real.

How did you feel making the donation?

Connecting our day-to-day work to a meaningful donation felt really rewarding.
