Why Join Workplace Giving?
Workplace Giving is one of the easiest and most effective ways to support Variety – the Children’s Charity. Your donations are automatically deducted from your pre-tax salary, which means:
- No hassle at tax time – your donations are recorded on your annual PAYG summary.
- More impact for less – a small pre-tax donation goes further. For example, just $3.50 from your pay can become a $5 gift to Variety.
- Ongoing support – your regular contributions help ensure all kids in Australia can thrive.
It’s a powerful way to give back, and every dollar counts. A $3.50 payroll gift equates to a $5 donation to Variety. Your contribution no matter how big or small has an impact. Spread the word and encourage your colleagues to get involved too!
