The power of Workplace Giving
Everyone benefits with workplace giving FOR Save the Children
- Workplace giving dramatically reduces the fundraising and administrative costs for Save the Children because donations go straight from the employer's payroll into Save the Children's bank account. It also doesn't cost Save the Children as much to attract, receipt and retain donors
- Workplace giving provides Save the Children with a stable stream of funding so we can budget more effectively and respond to demand for our services
- Workplace giving substantially increases a donor's total donations to Save the Children. In ACF's research, 75% of donors indicated their workplace giving donations are in addition to their donations through other channels
- Workplace giving can provide Save the Children with access to the skills and expertise of the employer partner's staff.
- Workplace giving can be a catalyst for increasing the engagement of a business and its people in other forms of giving.
FOR EMPLOYERS
- Workplace giving is an easy to administer, high impact way for the business to demonstrate its commitment (internally and externally) to helping the community.
- The organisation can make a difference on a strategic social issue and employees have the opportunity to learn about the impact their donations are making.
- People feel good when they give - enabling staff to give to the community, and celebrating their generosity, creates a happier, more engaged workforce.
FOR EMPLOYEES
- A matched workplace giving donation (with its automatic tax deduction) can multiply the value of the employee's donation by up to four times, depending on the donor's marginal tax rate.
- Employees receive an immediate tax deduction without the need to keep receipts.
- Employees can donate as little or as much as they like.
- With lots of employees donating small amounts, they are working together to make a difference.
- It's interactive - staff can support workplace giving community partners in other ways too, including workplace fundraising, volunteering, or sharing skills/expertise.
