What is Workplace Giving?
Workplace Giving is a voluntary program which allows employees to make a regular donation to the charity of their choice with an automatic deduction of a set amount from their earnings. It’s a great way for individuals and companies to make affordable, tax-effective donations and eliminate the need to collect receipts or wait until the end of the year to claim a tax refund. It’s also a simple yet effective way for employers to create community-business partnerships and build employee morale.
Making a difference as an employee
It’s an easy and convenient way for you to donate a nominated amount on a regular basis to the Flying Doctors. You’ll receive a tax deduction without needing to keep receipts and even better it’s an immediate tax benefit from your wage. Once your donation is set up there’s nothing else for you to do, it’s that simple.
Workplace Giving…a valuable investment
By establishing a workplace giving program and making it easy for employees to participate, employers are contributing to the social well-being of those communities the Flying Doctor’s service and making a real difference to people living, working and travelling in rural Australia.
