Workplace Giving
People can give a lot or a little, as many times as they like throughout the year, while they work. Workplace giving is an effective, efficient and ethical way for businesses and their employees to support the charities they care about.
What is workplace giving?
Workplace giving means that people in Australia and New Zealand can give to the charities they care about as a pre-tax donation, directly from their pay, while they work. It’s easy, it’s effective and it delivers low-cost, efficient and much-needed funding to charities.
For companies, workplace giving is a smart way to demonstrate a strategic commitment to corporate community investment. Employees are provided with an opportunity to connect with the values of the company they work for and an avenue to make a positive difference in society and the environment. The diverse and open selection of charities available through workplace giving also provides an avenue for companies to walk the talk on diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Most importantly, workplace giving delivers a positive financial impact for charities – this is low-cost charity funding, with 99 per cent of all donations going directly to the cause. Workplace giving streamlines the financial management process of corporate donations to charities and reduces administration, while building charities’ supporter base – developing new donor relationships and advocating for important causes and issues throughout Australia.
