Greg Roodt is an early Canva employee. He established a giving fund with the APS Foundation after a share divestment gave his family the opportunity to give back.

What started as a financial decision quickly became a family tradition. Together, they sit down as a family to choose charities that reflect their values – teaching their children that even small actions can make a big difference.

Greg has found giving to be more rewarding than expected, not only for his family and the causes they support but also by finding a whole new community of givers to share learnings and stories.

“My partner and I hope it sets a good example for our two young boys and shows them we can all help to make the world a better place.”
