Workplace giving

Did you know that if just 10% of working Australians donated $5 per week through their pay, an additional $260m would be generated each year for the community?

“The Giving Business” report – The Australian Charities Fund,  United Way and Charities Aid Foundation, with PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Centre for Social Impact.

What is workplace giving?

Workplace giving is an easy and convenient way to make small, regular donations to the Spinal Injuries Association through automated payroll deductions.

Just a few dollars per week – the cost of a coffee – can make a significant difference, especially when multiplied by a substantial amount of employees within an organisation.

How does workplace giving help us?

  • We receive regular, stable and ongoing funding which makes it easier for us to plan for the future.
  • Processing costs are reduced as the donations are received as a lump sum.
  • We can build a close and mutually beneficial relationship with your organisation.
  • There are opportunities to highlight the work of the Association and encourage greater understanding and awareness of spinal cord injuries.
  • We can achieve greater community outcomes for our members and clients.

 Benefits for the employer

  • Build your business reputation and profile within the community.
  • Be seen as an “employer of choice”.
  • Demonstrate your community spirit.
  • Contribute to staff morale and loyalty.
  • Build a close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Spinal Injuries Association.
