How GenKind works

Choose. Create. Track. Donate

GenKind has a curated selection of gifts, experiences, and donation options which pass the kid cool-test and support planet-saving causes. They are supplied by Australian certified charities and not-for-profit organisations which support our oceans, animals, people and land.

Explore the website with your child and let them choose which option they love the most. They can choose to be a zoo-keeper for a day, adopt a koala, or help Sea Shepherd save our seas! You can check them out here.

Once you have chosen, all you have to do is register your party on our website. We have a super quick form, which you can fill in from your mobile phone. We will ask you for:

  • Your child’s name and date of birth

  • The gift they have chosen

  • Whether you are having a party (and the date)

  • A photo of your child (for their collection page)

  • A parent’s name and email address (for confirmation and correspondence)

  1. Choose your gift

2. Share your party page

Next, GenKind will create a personalised party page for you to share with your guests. This will include your name and photo, plus details of your chosen gift and how guests can contribute.

It’s super fun and kind of feels like being famous.

We will email you a link to this page, which you can send to your friends via Whatsapp or email, plus a QR code which you can include on printed/digital invitations. We will also provide you with some ideas on how to share it and what to say.

There are no minimum or maximum amounts set for donations - so everybody can get involved.

3. Track your contributions

Now the really easy bit.

By visiting your party page, your friends can learn all about the cause you are supporting in their own time. It’s super easy for them to make a contribution and leave you a special birthday message.

We find that often guests leave making a contribution to the last minute… sometimes the day of the party, or even afterwards! Who can blame busy parents, right? This is not a problem. We keep your party page open for a week after your birthday/party.

GenKind manage all of the payments and ensure a stringent level of payment processing across a wide range of providers, which means everybody has peace of mind.

Each time that you receive a contribution from a friend we will send you an email to let you know and to share their message.

We also make sure that every guest who donates receives a personlised thank you note from you.

4. Enjoy your gift

Once your party page has closed we will email you to let you know the total amount you received from friends.

If this is more than you need for your chosen gift you will have the option to add an additional gift (from the same cause) or to simply donate the excess amount to the same cause.

If you have less than required for your chosen gift then you have the option to ‘top up’ the amount to cover the difference, choose another gift from the same cause, or simply make a donation to the same cause.

There is no stress or anything to worry about either way.

We will make the payment/donation directly on your behalf, and give the supplier your email or address to fulfil the gift or experience directly.

5. Join the GenKind Club

To recognise your amazing achievement in using your birthday to support a planet-saving cause, we will email you a digital GenKind certificate.

You, and all of your friends who made a contribution, will also receive a one year membership to the GenKind Club.

The GenKind club is a community of youngsters who want to learn more about our planet, nature, wildlife, and ways they can be kind to our earth, and each other.

You will receive our monthly digital magazine filled with inspiration, facts, ideas and more. Plus you will get the chance to be featured. You will also receive discounts on our super cool merchandise, including t-shirts, trucker caps, stickers and postcards, and first-access to events, exclusive offers, and new products.
