The Good Mahi Model™

Do good.
Protect your margins.
Be part of something bigger.

In this economy, this no longer works:

❌ Discounting your work without rhyme or reason.

❌ Doing good quietly with no way to talk about it.

❌ Keeping your community contacts and your paying clients in separate boxes.

Three problems. One framework as the solution.

Introducing the Good Mahi Model™

The Good Mahi Model™ is a licensed framework for owner-operators, solopreneurs, and small consultancies who want to embed genuine community benefit into their business. Credibly, sustainably, and without giving away margin.

✅ Give your discounting boundaries and structure.

✅ Gives your good mahi a voice and share the story.

✅ Turn your client relationships into a referral network with a ripple effect of good.

HOW IT WORKS

Clients pay full price.

You set aside a portion.

That value funds subsidised mahi for those who need it.

That’s it.

To get started

Impact Ink guides you to decide:

how much you’ll give each year (your cap)
who should benefit
your minimum subsidy (20% or more)

Clients can also refer their customers into it.

You track what’s delivered.

You share the impact.

This isn’t a donation. It’s your mahi, applied with intent.

This is the beginning of something.

The Good Mahi Model™ started because at Impact Ink, we needed it ourselves.

We wanted our consulting services to be accessible to not-for-profits while building a financially sustainable business.

And we knew that being able to credibly tell the story of the good we pass on was a genuine point of difference.

So we built the framework we wished existed.

Now we're sharing what we’ve embedded in our operation.

Businesses in Aotearoa are generous.

But generosity without structure is hard to sustain, hard to measure, and hard to talk about credibly.

The Good Mahi Model™ is our attempt to change that. A framework that makes structured, meaningful community contribution the norm for small businesses, not just the big ones with “Corporate Social Responsibility” budgets.

We're building a movement backing impact with how they work.

We're in beta until 2027. Free to join.
