Workplace Giving – A Simple Way to Make a Big Difference

Workplace Giving is one of the most effective ways to engage your team and create a bigger collective impact. Donations are made automatically from an employee’s pay, before tax.

For Employees – 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!

For Employers – The Value of Offering Workplace Giving

Introducing Workplace Giving in your organisation is a meaningful way to demonstrate your commitment to social responsibility and community impact.

  • Boost employee engagement – staff feel proud to work for a company that gives back.
  • Amplify donations – contributions are made from pre-tax income, so employees give more at less cost.
  • Double the impact – consider matching employee donations to show your support and increase your company’s impact.

Workplace Giving is a win-win for your team, your business, and the community.
