Workplace Giving
By making regular donations, employees are providing an ongoing source of funds to Guide Dogs NSW/ACT that make a real difference to the lives of people who are blind or have a vision impairment.
When setting up a Workplace Giving program, the employee generally nominates the preferred charity and specifies the amount they wish to donate, usually a fixed amount to be deducted each pay day. Some companies provide additional financial support by matching staff donations.
It's a simple, streamlined and tax efficient way to contribute as the donations are made from pre-tax pay. This means the tax deduction is immediate and guaranteed and there's no need to collect, keep and claim receipts.
