We help organisations & communities thrive
PurposeTech is an Aotearoa New Zealand tech startup on a mission to amplify the impact for-purpose, charitable organisations are having in our communities.
Our Story
PurposeTech was born from a simple observation: charities often get stuck with inadequate technology tools. When the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ was struggling with expensive, clunky volunteer management solutions that didn't integrate with their systems, we saw an opportunity to help.
In 2021, during the challenges of COVID-19 lockdowns, we launched a beta platform that helped the Foundation navigate an increasingly cashless society and complex regional restrictions. Despite cancelled sites and changing traffic light settings, our platform adapted to handle these challenges effectively.
On 18 November 2021, Purpose Tech Limited was formally established. Since then, we've grown from strength to strength, supporting organisations like Child Cancer Foundation and Sustainable Coastlines to maximise their volunteer operations.
Our Mission
To empower charitable organisations with intuitive, purpose-built volunteer management tools—making it simple to coordinate people, fill shifts, and turn willing hands into meaningful impact.
Our Vision
To be the leading global platform for volunteer coordination, empowering charities to mobilise communities effectively and maximise the impact of every person who puts their hand up to help.
