Profit for Good: What Happens When You Give It All Away

What if the profit wasn’t the end goal - but the engine?

This event explores the emerging “profit for good” model: companies built to generate profit specifically to fund high-impact charitable work.

A growing number of businesses are being built not just to succeed, but to give everything away - directing 100% of profits to high-impact charitable work.

We’ll hear from the founders of Give Industries, a trade services business doing exactly this.

Kat Dekker and Calvin Baker will share:

• how they’ve structured a business that gives away all profits

• what’s surprised them along the way

• what actually makes this model sustainable (and where it’s hard)

This isn’t a pitch - it’s an honest look at building a purpose-driven business that still has to work in the real world.

This session is a closer look at that model - how it works in practice, what it takes to make it commercially viable, and why it’s gaining traction.

Who should attend:

This is a small, relaxed room for people interested in the intersection of business and impact, including:

• founders and operators

• investors and advisers

• The Life You Can Save supporters

• anyone thinking seriously about what money is for, not just how it’s made

Hosted by The Life You Can Save as part of SA Giving Week.

Come along for a thoughtful, practical conversation - and a chance to connect with others who care about how money is made, and where it goes.
