Engagement Australia is delighted to announce that GivePulse will be sponsoring Transform: The Journal of Engaged Scholarship. GivePulse  is the technology platform offering backbone support to  the Carnegie Community Engagement Elective Classification. It enables the establishment, nourishing and evaluation of partnerships to improve outcomes of the community. GivePulse has supported institutions of higher education, nonprofits, cities, corporations, and more for over 12 years.

GivePulse’s mission is to enable everyone in the world to lift their communities to new heights by enabling their partners to evaluate all community engagement activities, from service-learning, experiential learning, volunteer management, research, community partnerships, and beyond.

GivePulse’s support will assist Engagement Australia as we continue to advance the reach, rigour, and impact of Transform.

Dr Matthew Pink, Editor of Transform said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with GivePulse and to have their innovative platform associated with our organization. We are pleased to provide a platform for GivePulse to communicate the potential of their software and to further support impactful university-community engagement in Australia. Equally, GivePulse’s support for Transform helps us to occupy a unique and important space in Australian higher education scholarship.”

We aim to lead the conversation on leveraging technology for meaningful community engagement and tracking, positioning ourselves as pioneers in empowering institutions deeply committed to serving their communities.

This collaboration places GivePulse at the forefront of higher education scholarship, volunteerism, and service-learning in the Australian and Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to learning, innovating, and collaborating with this remarkable community of scholars and practitioners to advance our shared vision for impactful community engagement.”
