Donating through your pay – Work Place Giving 

What is work Place Giving?

Workplace Giving is a three way partnership between employees, employers and charities. Every program brings compelling benefits to each party. From supporting charities to meeting corporate social responsibility objectives, Workplace Giving joins communities in firm, positive and lasting relationships.

 For the employee

Workplace Giving offers employees a convenient and meaningful way to donate to Assistance Dogs Australia.

The benefits participating employees say they enjoy most include:

  • Making a difference to Assistance Dogs Australia- knowing their contribution is helping to train the super pups and reaching another person in need.
  • Their contribution reaching further (over 70% of companies match donations)
  • Donations are tax effective
  • The hands on opportunities available
  • Puppy visits to the work place
  • Sponsoring their own puppy!

Corporate social responsibility and more…

Workplace Giving offers employers a vehicle to build charity community partnerships and boost employee morale. Programs help to attract and retain quality talent.

Low on cost and administration, Workplace Giving mobilises significant charity funding. It motivates and engages employees while improving staff retention.

Workplace Giving employers report that programs:

  • Advance corporate leadership and community impact,
  • Put corporate social responsibility and values into action,
  • Strengthen employee recruitment, loyalty and retention levels,
  • Build constructive non profit relationships,
  • Require minimal work from payroll administration and are cost effective. 

General benefits to Assistance Dogs Austarlia

Workplace Giving programs channel 100% of donated funds directly to Assistance Dogs Austalia. Regular bulk payroll donations save on administration costs and allow more effective planning.

General Workplace Giving benefits include:

  • Creating new giving relationships,
  • Stable long and term funding source,
  • Reduced fundraising expenditure.

The facts are:

  • Employees who choose to donate through payroll, do so in pre-tax dollars and enjoy immediate tax benefits.
  • Workplace Giving is better for charity and non profit organisations because it greatly reduces their fundraising and administrative costs.
  • If just 10% of working Australians made a payroll charity donation of $5 each week, the Australian community would benefit by over $260 million each year.
