Workplace giving makes donating even easier
Australian Rotary Health, Australia’s largest non-government funding body for mental illness research, has recently launched a new workplace giving program.
Workplace giving allows employees and employers to connect more easily with charities that have deductible gift recipient (DGR) status. Simple, cost effective and tax efficient, workplace giving runs through the payroll system and allows an employee to nominate the amount they would like to donate each pay. This amount is then deducted from the employee’s wage and sent straight to the nominated charity.
By participating in workplace giving, employees are able to donate through a transparent and trustworthy channel – their employer. It’s also easier come tax time; no more worrying about collecting receipts or waiting until the end of the financial year to claim a deduction.
For employers, offering a workplace giving program helps foster employee morale and strengthen community ties. And don’t forget that by supporting Australian Rotary Health you are helping to solve important issues that affect your community. From mental health to cancer research, Australian Rotary Health’s broad vision helps improve the quality of life for people who are least able to assist themselves.
