“Freelancing for Good is such a thoughtfully built space for mission-driven freelancers. It feels welcoming and intentional. It’s not just a directory, but a values-aligned community where people genuinely want to help each other move forward. I’m so grateful that Alistair and Maja have brought something like this into existence. It fills a real gap and creates the kind of support structure that purpose-driven freelancers rarely have.
What has made it especially meaningful for me is Maja’s personal touch. Every call I’ve had with her has been incredibly thoughtful and supportive. I always leave with practical advice, helpful resources, and often a connection I wouldn’t have made on my own. It feels incredible to have someone truly take the time and care to think deeply about you, what you’re building, who you should meet, and what could actually help you take your next step. You can feel that same care in the way the entire community has been built and shaped.”

“The Freelancing for Good community has been incredible in my journey to begin my own operations consulting business! I had this idea to go out on my own and use my almost 2 decades of professional skills for good, and to help clients who were making a big impact in the world. FFG was exactly the community I wanted to be part of because it aligned exactly with my goals and values.
Maja is incredible, and I knew I had met a kindred spirit from our very first conversation. The idea and work she has put into the community to make it welcoming, helpful, and impactful has been amazing to see. She knows exactly the pain points of freelancers, guides them, and provides a space for them to connect with other individuals and organisations in a meaningful way. Her authenticity, kind-heartedness, and transparency also allowed me to share so much of myself and my vulnerabilities for the next steps. Maja helped me and other freelancers flourish!
Through Maja and the FFG community, I found fantastic work with organisations that I’m proud to be a part of. I serve as a fractional Head of Operations and fractional COO for 2 growing organisations. I love being part of the beginnings of an organisation, helping create and embody the foundations of the company culture. This was 100% through Maja’s connections, who recommended me to one of the organisations. I am both challenged and fulfilled, and am excited to grow in this new chapter of my professional journey. Thank you, Maja and the FFG community, for giving me this place to start and grow, and continue to make an impact!”

“Ever had a freakout moment just before a client intro and needed quick peer advice? I’m so glad I had the Freelancing For Good Community to fall back on. With a quick call out in the group chat, I had peers offering their phone numbers and time to talk me through it. From direct support like this to learning about what others are working on has become part of my daily network as a freelancer. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

“There’s a lot to love about the FFG community, but one of my favourites has to be the encouragement to show your work. As freelancers, a lot of us work mostly alone, and having a safe space to share what we do makes a big difference. Maja and Alistair are building something super special here — you don’t want to miss out.”

“I find it encouraging to see others working and collaborating on projects that are making a difference. Working as a freelancer, especially when you are in between projects, can feel isolating. Having a community is the antidote.”

Found work through FFG
“Freelancing for Good has helped me take my first step towards a career pivot. While I had clarity on my goals, FFG gave me access to carefully curated projects that are clearly centred on social impact and values alignment that I’d been searching for. I’ve found impactful projects that allowed me to navigate this uncertainty and reclaim a sense of meaningful contribution — so it’s not just a buzzword. I’m grateful for the projects I found on FFG as I’m finally working with like-minded people across the globe on causes I genuinely care about. FFG’s quality of carefully selected opportunities gives me true integrity in my work that transactional gigs evidently lack, which feels rare and refreshing in the freelance world. I’m excited to continue this journey and grow with FFG in the new year.”
