Benefits of Workplace Giving
There is no minimum or maximum contribution required to participate. At the end of the financial year, your employer will include your total donations in a payment summary, which you can report in your tax return. If your employer chooses to match your donation to Telethon Kids dollar-for-dollar, the impact of your generosity will be multiplied. In summary, not only will the staff and organisation be contributing to a great cause, but you will also receive immediate tax benefits.
| Example of non-matched giving | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| What you give pre-tax | It only costs you | - | Telethon Kids receives |
| $5.00 | $3.50* | - | $5.00 |
| Example of matched giving | |||
| What you give pre-tax | It only costs you | Your company matches your donation | Telethon Kids receives |
| $5.00 | $3.50* | $5.00 | $10.00 |
* Amount varies according to income/tax bracket
Workplace giving at Telethon Kids
At Telethon Kids, our employees have the option to give back through workplace giving. Over the past five years, staff involved in our workplace giving program - Peers & Partners, have collectively raised nearly $130,000. Each year the total raised through Peers & Partners is doubled by the Institute to support many worthy projects, including research project seed grants, student scholarships, capacity building for Aboriginal staff and students, collaboration grants, and employee wellbeing.
I give to Peers & Partners because I believe in the power of collaboration to support getting research off the ground. I was the recipient of a philanthropic award and it has made a positive difference to my career.
