What is Workplace Giving?

Workplace giving is a way for employees to give small, regular donations from pre-tax pay. 

It does not take much for employee giving programs to make an impact - in fact, you probably will not notice the difference to your pay - but with your ongoing support through Workplace Giving you can help Stroke Foundation continue to partner with the community to prevent stroke, save lives, and enhance recovery. 

Many employers also match your donations. 

The benefits of a workplace giving program

Workplace giving benefits employees by:

• providing an immediate tax benefit by reducing your taxable income;
• removing concerns about record-keeping as employee donations are automatically recorded on your pay slip.

Workplace giving benefits employers by:

• boosting morale by demonstrating good corporate social responsibility;
• providing an opportunity to match employee donations to significantly increase the impact Workplace Giving has on stroke;
• creating a cost-effective way to build a long-term partnership with Stroke.
