Workplace Giving Month 2011
Make giving count during workplace giving month
The Children's Hospital at Westmead is proudly supporting Workplace Giving Month in June 2011.
An initiative of The Australian Charities Fund, the aim of Workplace Giving Month is to increase awareness of workplace giving and to recognise and celebrate the impact these donations make to the Australian community.
What is workplace giving?
Workplace giving allows employees to make regular charitable donations from their pre-tax pay through their employer's payroll system.
Why participate in workplace giving?
Convenient, workplace giving eliminates the need for employees to collect receipts or wait until the end of the year to claim a tax refund.
Cost effective, giving from pre-tax income means donations cost employees less, while charities like us receive the full benefit of their donation.
Collaborative, workplace giving is unique in its ability to bring together employees, employers and the charities they choose to support. When employees and employers combine their donations, workplace giving is living proof that small change can make a big difference and deliver significant benefits to the community. Research highlights this collaboration enhances employee morale, loyalty and pride in their employer.
What are the benefits of workplace giving?
Workplace giving is transparent and trustworthy for employees and employers, and avoids high fundraising costs for charities.
The benefits participating employees say they enjoy most include:
- Donations are easy, convenient and tax effective.
- Donations are affordable - you can give as much or as little as you like.
- Employees have the chance to make a difference by connecting with their employer and fellow workmates through the collective impact of their donations.
How we make giving count
Workplace giving is one of the most cost effective and impactful ways to donate and we want to see it reach its full potential in Australia.
Since 2002 we have received approximately $4.5million from our committed partners through workplace giving. These funds have been used to support various departments of the Hospital. One Department, in particular, the Child Life Therapy Department, has directed some of these funds towards the establishment of a stimulating multi-sensory garden. The garden includes interactive sculptures, water features, soft-fall paving, a variety of plants, motion-activated sounds, and much, much more. It offers families an opportunity to escape the sometimes stressful experience of life within a hospital and offers a sense of tranquility that can make a huge difference to the quality of life that they are experiencing during their time here with us.
If your organisation currently has a workplace giving program, think about signing up or increasing your donation during Workplace Giving Month.
If your organisation does not currently have a workplace giving program, Workplace Giving Month is the perfect time to suggest this as an addition to your existing community program.
