Question 1

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

For now: solopreneurs, consultants, and small owner-operator businesses who want to structure their community giving without sacrificing margin.  If you’re not one of those and you reckon (like us) that the Good Mahi Model™ has legs in any business type, let’s kōrero anyway.  Our vision is to see the Good Mahi Model™ as a recognised badge of being a good business in Aotearoa.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Nothing, for the first five people to join, until 2027. We're in beta and looking for founding practitioners to test it with us. Fancy being part of something epic, from the start?  Let’s kōrero.

Question 3

Do I have to be in a specific industry?

Accepted Answer

No. We’re confident the Good Mahi Model™ works for any service or product-based business that charges clients directly.

Question 4

What's the minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

You set your own annual cap (the total value your business will budget to give) and contribution level (a minimum 20% discount to eligible recipients).

Question 5

Who decides which organisations receive the subsidy?

Accepted Answer

You do. We provide guidance on eligibility, but the choice of who benefits reflects your values and kaupapa.  Generally speaking, you’re directing the subsidy to for-purpose mahi.  You decide who that might be.  Consider what for-purpose organisations or initiatives would benefit, but who may usually priced out of accessing your expertise.

Question 6

How much time does it take?

Accepted Answer

Around eight to ten hours across the year. Set-up, light tracking, and a review with Impact Ink six months in (annually thereafter).

Question 7

What do I get for joining?

Accepted Answer

The framework, onboarding support, your Good Mahi Model™ accreditation badge, ready-to-use messaging and collateral, and recognition as a founding practitioner including first access to future developments (plus many kudos 🙂).

Question 8

What happens after 2027 for those getting it free?

Accepted Answer

Fees will apply, tiered to your business turnover. We'll give founding practitioners plenty of notice and a fair transition, including an opportunity for you to share what you think this framework is worth.
