Initiating a Workplace Giving Program in support of Bendigo Foodshare is an easy and rewarding way to help fight hunger in Central Victoria and is a win-win-win for everyone.
Benefit to Employers
- A Workplace Giving Program is one of the easiest and most effective ways of initiating a Corporate Social Responsibility program within your organisation. It shows you are devoted to helping your community, in particular the causes your business aligns to, and employees care about.
- Most payroll systems can accommodate workplace giving as part of normal payroll procedures, making it easy for you and your employees – there are no tax forms to complete and the records required are straightforward and automated.
Benefit to Employees
- By making a tax-free regular donation from your salary you can help make our community stronger.
- It is easy to set up and comes out of your regular pay – meaning once set up you don’t need to do anything.
- It allows you to make smaller donations spread over the year, rather than one large donation.
- The donations come out of your pre-tax wage, meaning less of your wage is taxed.
- When it comes to tax time the process is very simple and there is no need for receipts.
- The system is easy to opt in and out of, giving you full control over your giving.
