When you sign up to Caritas Australia’s Workplace Giving Program, you can use your small change to make a big change to the lives of people from the world’s most marginalised and vulnerable communities.Â
Workplace Giving allows you to make regular donations to Caritas Australia through your pre-tax pay. This can greatly reduce Caritas Australia’s administration costs, so that more funds can reach vulnerable communities in need.Â
Employees from any organisation can make ongoing donations, which are then deducted from their pre-tax salary each pay period. Companies can choose to match their staff’s giving to double the impact and inspire more staff to get involved. Â
When you donate to Caritas Australia, you can be sure of our careful stewardship of your contribution. We pride ourselves on having one of the lowest administration rates in the sector.Â
We are encouraging school teachers, healthcare workers in the Catholic sector and everyone in Australia to get involved in this initiative.Â
Benefits for employees
Workplace Giving is a smart and easy way to make small, regular contributions to Caritas Australia through your pre-tax pay, so you receive the tax benefit straight away rather than waiting until the end of the financial year. Once you notify your payroll team that you wish to give through Workplace Giving, they organise the payments for you.Â
Benefits for employers
A strong Workplace Giving Program can drive positive culture, attract new talent and retain engaged employees. By matching your employees’ donations, you can encourage more staff to join in and double their impact.Â
