What are the benefits of workplace giving?
Workplace giving enhances employee engagement and strengthens corporate social responsibility, fostering a positive company culture and community impact.
For employees
- It’s all organised by your payroll, so there is no upkeep or administration on your behalf.
- It eliminates the need to collect receipts and wait until the end of the financial year to claim tax back.
- Regular giving makes planning easier so we can make the most of every dollar we receive to help ensure that the world’s children are fed, vaccinated, educated, and protected.
- Your donation is pre-tax, so it will cost you less than the amount we receive from your organisation. Your employer may also match your contribution.
- Workplace giving brings teams together, creates cohesion and unity.
For employers
- Engage and unite your staff around a common cause.
- Create a more connected team and a better work culture.
- Help attract and retain the best people.
