FreddyMatch Details
Our StoryFreddyMatch is a web-based platform that facilitates and optimises the process of volunteering.FreddyMatch is part of the Freddy Bear Foundation, set up in loving memory of Roxane and Gary's son Frederick Donaldson ImrieBowman who passed away aged 16 days on June 8th 2017. After Freddy passed away Roxane wanted to do some volunteeringthat used her specific skills but found that there were no easy ways of finding opportunities. FreddyMatch was created to solve thatproblem. FreddyMatch helps match organisations and volunteers based on their unique interests, skill sets, location and availabilityusing the "FreddyMatch" algorithm.Our AimFreddyMatch helps people overcome some of the issues which prevent them from volunteering. Only 14% of volunteeringopportunities are currently filled in Australia and we want to help more people to volunteer. We particularly want to increasevolunteering amongst young people, skilled workers, those with disabilities, and those in rural/remote communities.We want to make volunteering easier. We want volunteers to spend their time helping, not searching for the right opportunity. If youhave two hours free on a Friday afternoon and want to help out in your community, FreddyMatch will help you find the organisationthat needs your help.We also want the best for our partner organisations. FreddyMatch reduces the time and cost it takes them to find and managevolunteers. Organisations have access to: tracking and insights for opportunity management and promotion, support for managing andscreening applications and volunteer management including timesheets and security clearance. FreddyMatch will always be completelyfree of charge for the smallest charities.Our TeamWe are a small team dedicated to our mission to increase volunteering participation rates in Australia.
