Workplace Giving is one of the most cost effective ways to donate, allowing you to extend your reach and help more children in need.
Workplace Giving responds to one of the most significant challenges faced by Save the Children - finding stable and low cost sources of funding to support our programs. It is the process of making regular donations to our programs through your payroll system. Donations are made automatically from your pre-tax pay, which means that your tax deduction is immediate and guaranteed, and it actually costs employees less than the amount we receive.
Top Ten Reasons to Join a Workplace Giving Program:
- Many companies match donations - ask your employer to match your donation so even more money goes to charity
- It's convenient and easy to set up
- You can have confidence that your donations have a lasting impact on issues important to you
- It's affordable - unlike other forms of donating, you can donate any amount that suits you
- With fellow employees donating small amounts, you are working collectively to make a big difference
- You get the benefit of an immediate tax deduction without needing to keep any receipts
- Donations go straight from your payroll into Save the Children's bank account which dramatically reduces our administrative costs
- Most importantly, you feel good when you give because you know that your contribution is really making a difference.

"My employer's Workplace Giving program allows me the opportunity to give something back to the community in a simple and cost-effective way. Donating a small amount from my regular pay adds up over the year and I know that my donations are having a positive impact on the work Save the Children does around the world."
