What is Workplace Giving? Workplace Giving is a great way to help animals throughout the world live free from cruelty by providing long term, ongoing support. By taking part, you and your company can help create real and lasting change for animals worldwide. Employees can help rehabilitate rescued animals, build and establish wildlife sanctuaries, lobby governments to achieve animal protection laws and provide emergency relief when disaster strikes - simply by making regular tax deductible donations to HSI from their salaries. Getting started The process is simple. Just enter a Workplace Giving arrangement and nominate HSI as your chosen charity or recipient. The donation amount will be a set amount deducted from each employee's pay period, i.e. fortnightly or monthly. The total donation amount for all employees involved is then paid directly by the employers to HSI. The donation amount can be changed at any time by making a request to the employer. Workplace Giving benefits for employers By supporting Workplace Giving, your company shows its obvious interest in social issues such as international animal welfare and the environment. As a result of committing to this cause, value is added to your company profile with increased approval from the greater community. It is a low cost way to improve staff morale and loyalty and has the added benefit of making business even more attractive to new employees. It is also one of the most cost-effective, ‘fuss-free’ and easy ways your company can contribute to helping animals worldwide. Workplace Giving benefits for employees
Most people find that giving through the payroll system is
one of the most convenient ways to donate to their chosen charity. When an
individual makes a donation through workplace giving, this donation is
given from their ‘pre-tax’ income, making the value of each dollar go even
further. Employer-matched giving is also a great way to encourage your
staff to become involved in Workplace Giving. When an employer agrees to
match employee donations dollar for dollar, the benefit for the animals
also doubles. |
