Workplace Giving

Every dollar can change lives

What if there was a way to make your monthly donation go even further?

Workplace Giving is the most simple and tax effective way to make regular donations to Caritas Australia through your pre-tax pay. This greatly reduces Caritas Australia’s administration costs so more money reaches the people who need it most.

The power of your Workplace Gift

When you sign up to Caritas Australia’s Workplace Giving Program, you can use your small change to make a big change to the lives of people from the world’s most marginalised and vulnerable communities.

What is Workplace Giving?

Workplace Giving allows you to make regular donations to Caritas Australia through your pre-tax pay. By signing up to Workplace Giving, you and your organisation can help make a real and lasting difference for people living in poverty around the world.

As the international aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Australia, Caritas Australia works with and for all people, to address immediate needs and long-term goals, regardless of religion, race or political beliefs. 

With your support, we can accompany communities to build on existing local strengths and resources, supporting them to drive their own development, for more transformative and sustainable change. 

How it works

Employees make an ongoing donation, which is deducted from their pre-tax salary each pay period. Companies can choose to match their staff’s giving to double the impact and inspire more staff to get involved. 

Workplace Giving saves both Caritas Australia, and your organisation, costly and time-consuming administration work, and means that even more in every dollar goes towards helping the people who need it most.

Workplace Giving won’t affect your superannuation and payroll tax calculations like salary sacrificing. It reduces your PAYG liability but it doesn’t decrease your gross income.
