How to drive your donation dollar further with workplace giving

Workplace Giving is when individuals contribute a small portion of their pre-tax salary to charity and receive the tax benefit straight away rather than waiting until the end of financial year.

For example, if you donate $20, it may only cost you $12.60 (varies depending on your personal tax bracket), but the charity will receive the full $20. In most cases, employers will match staff donations, so the value of your donation will double to $40 direct to the charity of your choice.

Why Choose Workplace Giving?

 

 

It’s a win-win-win for business, employees and charities and drives your donation dollar further.

• Employers enjoy greater staff engagement, retention, productivity, reputation and social impact
• Employees give in a smarter, tax-effective way and build a sense of pride in their employer
• Charities get low-cost, regular funds, access to valuable skills and strong partnerships
