Core benefits
Charities invest in ACF to help ACF promote workplace giving to the benefit of all stakeholders - employees,employers and the charity sector.
In addition to demonstrating a commitment to workplace giving, investing in ACF ensures ACF can initiate and share projects which benefit all charities and which no one charity could hope to achieve alone.
These projects include ACF's commitment to raising awareness of workplace giving through initiatives such as workplace giving month, resource and capacity building in which ACF shares category best practice, and ACF's ongoing investment in research projects.
Partnering with ACF brings charities the following additional benefits:
- online promotion to employers via the ACF website. The ACF website promotes only ACF charity partners
- multiple user access rights to program material on ACF's website
- invitations to attend ACF workshops, roundtables, events, advocacy training and annual conference
- information on employee giving tax changes and updates
- core benchmarking and best practice information.
Benchmarking Reports
Our employer partners tell us they value the benchmarking reports and best practice updates we provide them. This gives them a clear picture of employee participation in their community programs, how their organisation is performing in relation to others and gives insights into exciting initiatives that are driving impact.
ACF provides our charity partners with benchmarking reports to help them identify what employee giving programs are working well and what can be improved to help drive participation and increase social impact.
Annual investment amount
All charity partners pay the annual investment amount applicable to them.
This is calculated by reference to the size of the charity:
- $2,000 (plus GST) for charity receiving >$10M of overall revenue
(i.e. revenue from all sources, not limited to workplace giving) - $1,000 (plus GST) for charities receiving $2M - $10M of overall revenue
- $500 (plus GST) for charities receiving < $2M of overall revenue
The Australian Charities Fund and United Way have made a joint submission in response to the Commonwealth Treasury's discussion paper, 'Charitable fundraising regulation reform'.
