Philanthropy - Perth, Western Australia, Australia
COLAB connects engineering, architecture and construction businesses with community organisations in need of their donated services.Who?We are a Perth based, not-for-profit organisation established in 2014 by a group of engineers. COLAB - COmmunity Link to Architects and Builders. COLAB is commited to COmmitment to COllaborate with industry leaders and to COnnect with COmmunity groups. Why?Let us imagine a community organisation wanting to upgrade their facilities. You have barely enough money to meet your day-to-day costs. How can you afford to upgrade your facilitates? To raise money through grants or fund raising campaigns requires a concept design, some engineering and projects costings… but you have no money to develop these documents required to raise money… This is the catch-22 many community organisations find themselves in. How?COLAB has a comprehensive selection of pro bono professional built environment services (engineers and architects etc) available to community groups to get them out of this Catch-22. Our "meeting place" is available for this purpose.For community organisations seeking project assistance, the COLAB's Market Place offers a one-stop-shop providing convenient access to high quality design and construction services.
