Workplace Giving

You may donate to Cure Cancer Australia by establishing a Workplace Giving program. Workplace Giving
programs enable employees to make regular contributions to their preferred charities in an administratively
simple and low cost manner. Workplace Giving programs have the potential to benefit the community
by engaging charities, employers and employees in philanthropic behaviour. By establishing a pattern of
donations from both employees and employers through their payroll, charities are able to benefit
from stable funding that is free of fundraising costs.

Corporations and employees enjoy a close relationship with the charities they sponsor, choosing to follow
the development of specific programs. Workplace Giving programs are already largely successful in the US
and the UK because they are cost-effective, easy to implement and provide stable funding to charity
organisations.

What is Workplace Giving?

Workplace Giving is the process of making regular donations to charities through your employer's payroll system.
Employees nominate an amount to give from their salary each month. A few dollars per month is significant
to the charity, especially when multiplied by a substantial number of employees. The donations are constant,
allowing charities to more effectively plan for the use of funding in long-term programs.

Employers may choose to match employee donations or donate a specified amount. The system is flexible.
Workplace Giving also encourages businesses to give pro bono and volunteer assistance to their supported charities.
Productive community oriented partnerships are mutually beneficial to both business and charity, helping employers to boost morale.

Workplace Giving can be facilitated by using the services of: Australian Charities Fund  or Charities Aid Foundation.
