Giving Back
The business helps us help others. That is part of the design.
Agile IT is intentionally small, deliberately profitable, and quietly committed to using some of what the business makes to help people who do not start with the same head start. This page is where we name the organisations we support and explain why, without making it a campaign.
Our giving principles
Quiet, deliberate, and aligned to what we already believe
A small number of principles shape who we support and how. None of them are unusual. They are what makes the giving consistent over time rather than reactive to whatever is in the news.
Small businesses, big impact
We support organisations that help people start, run, or stabilise their own small enterprise, same shape of work we do for clients, applied where it changes a life.
Local and global, both
A mix of organisations working on the Peninsula and overseas. Local because it is our home; global because the need is large and small loans go a long way.
Long-running relationships
We pick organisations and stay with them. Multi-year support is more useful to an organisation than a one-off campaign, and easier for us to fund predictably.
Quiet by default
We do not run a foundation page because it is good for marketing. We publish this so clients and our team can see what the business stands for, and so others can find these organisations.
Organisations we support
Two organisations, different shapes of the same work
One helps families overseas start a small business and break the cycle of poverty. One supports young people on our doorstep through homelessness and into stable housing.
Opportunity International Australia
Small loans and financial training delivered through trusted local partners in India, Indonesia and beyond. Families, 95% women, use the loans to start or grow a small business and find their way out of poverty.
Fusion Mornington Peninsula
Forty years of frontline work on the Peninsula with young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Our particular support is for Fusion The Village, a $3 million purpose-built housing project for young women and families fleeing family violence, breaking ground at the Balcombe Barracks in 2026.
Why we publish this
Not for marketing. For honesty.
Plenty of businesses run an annual "we support charities" campaign. We have done it differently, quietly, consistently, over years, because that is what the organisations involved actually need. We publish this page so it is visible, not because it is loud.
If you are running a business and weighing up whether to do something similar, the answer is yes. Pick one or two organisations. Stay with them. Here is the longer version of why we think this matters.
"It is the vision of founders Linden and Letecia to help families start or grow their business, generate income and become financially literate. The same work we do for businesses here, applied where it can change a life."
