Giving Back
At RUSH, we believe digital innovation should create positive change. Our purpose of "Make better happen" extends beyond client work to how we contribute to our communities and empower our people to make a difference.
Our approach to creating meaningful change is twofold: we focus on People Impact and Charity Support, ensuring our efforts contribute to tangible outcomes that align with our purpose-driven values.
We give our team members a genuine sense of purpose in their work, reflected in how their roles positively contribute to both our customers and community. Our team consistently rates their connection to positive outcomes highly in our internal engagement surveys.
Impact
We actively encourage volunteerism and charitable giving, with 58% of our team engaging in volunteering or donating. In our most recent fiscal year, RUSH team members contributed:
Our commitment to community extends through significant discounts to nonprofits and direct financial support. Some of our recent community partnership highlights include:
UNICEF New Zealand:
- Our team fundraised over $1,000 in both the 2024 and 2025 Round the Bays for UNICEF
- We provide ongoing digital expertise to support their mission of helping children worldwide
Take2:
- RUSH team members have donated almost 100 hours of time to support the Take2 organisation through advisory work and class visits, helping formerly incarcerated individuals develop technical skills for new career opportunities.
Environmental Initiatives:
- Beach clean-up initiatives have engaged teams across the organisation, with RUSH crew members helping clean up Pt Chevalier Beach and Cornwallis at organised events.
Looking forward
As a purpose-driven digital partner, we're always seeking new ways to create positive impact. If your organisation is focused on social good and could benefit from digital expertise, we'd love to hear from you.
Our values-aligned approach to both business and community ensures that RUSH not only prioritises the personal growth and satisfaction of our people but also makes tangible contributions to the communities we serve.
