What is Workplace Giving and how does it work?

Workplace giving is an easy way for you to make regular donations to Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) through payroll deductions.

Donations are made automatically from your pre-tax pay, which means you instantly receive a tax deduction each pay cycle (no need to save tax receipts, it’s all done for you!)

You can start or change your donation at any time.

What are the benefits?

For employees:

By choosing to donate through your pre-tax pay, you will receive an immediate tax benefit! For example:

If you choose to donate $40 per month to Children’s Medical Research Institute:

You receive an immediate tax saving of $13*, so even though you’re donating $40, the net cost to you is only $27;

You will also receive updates on the impact your donation is making and how you are helping to save lives!

Here’s the really great part – if your employer matches your donation, $80 will go toward finding cures and treatments for children’s genetic diseases.

*Based on 2018-2019 Australian marginal tax rate of 32.5% for taxable incomes of $37,001-$90,000.

For employers:

• Workplace giving is an amazing way to enhance your company’s reputation;
  • 76% of prospective employees state that they consider a company’s social and environmental commitments when deciding where to seek work and 64% say they would rather not work for a company that doesn’t have a strong CSR presence.

• Increase your company’s team spirit and employee’s morale;
  • Workers at socially responsible companies are more engaged, more productive, and remain with their employers longer than employees at companies with lower CSR profiles.

• It’s a great way to support an organisation that is important to your employees;
  • More than 4 in 5 state they would be more likely to remain with a company that offers ways for employees themselves to contribute directly to a cause that’s important to them.

• It’s easy to set up and makes your employees feel heard and valued;

• If you choose to match your employee’s donation each month, you will double their impact!
