Prior to 2003, Workplace Giving played only a small part in Australian charity fundraising. Now, with pre‐tax payroll giving, engaged employers and their non profit partners are forming a new view of Workplace Giving and its many benefits.
The facts are:
- More than $55M has been donated to over 180 community organisations through ACF Workplace Giving programs.
- 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.
A recent Workplace Giving study led by The Australian Charities Fund showed the partnerships established through Workplace Giving have enormous community benefits.
