Workplace Giving
Effective and easy way to give
Workplace giving is an effective and simple way to give orphans and kids in need the help that will make a difference.
For Australians, workplace giving allows you to donate to Heart For Kids pre-tax through your payroll. Your donation is automatically deducted from your gross salary each pay period, meaning that you receive an immediate tax saving when the donation is made and saving you time searching for receipts at tax time.
For example, if you donate $50 from your pre-tax income, you actually pay less than $50, as the government contributes part as a tax deduction.
Here’s how it breaks down if you earn $50,000 a year:
Pre-payroll deduction per month
Tax saving
Annual cost
Donation to Heart for Kids
$50.00
$16.25
$33.75
$50.00

Here’s what you should do: speak to your employer today and ask them to set up a giving program in your workplace. Or, if a program already exists, you can opt to donate to Heart For Kids.
