Discover a curated and convenient way to start your philanthropic journey.
Founded in April 2020 to specifically address the needs of those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, GiveBack.my is the brainchild of the BAC Education Group and the Make It Right Movement (MIRM). Our vision to transform the way people give to charities – where anyone can be a philanthropist and do social good whilst transforming lives.
And that’s not all – 100% of your donations will go directly to the NGOs and charities you choose to help.
Our curated fundraising platform provides a delightful giving experience that is purpose-driven, convenient and transparent. We work personally with every project so that you know what you need to do to succeed, while providing you with the platform to host your fundraiser.
We work, through collaborative partnerships, with over 200 social good entities, that serve the region’s most vulnerable communities in the following categories; Education, Children, Women Empowerment, Special Needs, Health, Public Benefit and even Animal Welfare to name a few.
MIRM has raised millions of ringgits, since its inception in 2015, and propelled people across the nation to generously donate and volunteer their time to help those in need and to raise their voices in support of causes they believe in.

Amanda Kong | Community Advocate for Persons with Disabilities
Diagnosed with congenital glaucoma as a young child, Amanda Kong Hwei Zhen could see bright colours and shades of light. As she grew older, her eyesight began to deteriorate until she could only see very bright colours and differentiate between day and night. But this did not deter her from defying the odds to become an Advocate & Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya.
This tenacious and strong-willed young woman is a firm believer in giving back to the community and insists that “law is a really good platform for visually impaired people like me, because we can use the law to argue for our rights. After all, if we don’t help ourselves, who will?” A firm advocate for the rights of the differently abled, Amanda has been involved in several projects championing diversity and inclusion such as redrafting the Persons with Disabilities Act 2008, Glamour Includes (a fashion show promoting adaptive clothing for PWDs) and conducting briefings with the MIRM team at corporate bodies on promoting inclusivity in the workforce by hiring PWDs. Amanda is determined to make this a more inclusive world.
