Workplace giving (Payroll giving)
Workplace giving is an easy way to support Peter Mac. For organisations, it’s also a great way to build team morale, and to demonstrate to clients and suppliers that you are committed to Peter Mac’s work. For employees, it’s a simple way for you to make donations from your pre-tax salary and not have to worry about holding onto receipts.
Organisations involved in this type of giving typically make a commitment to promote workplace giving to their staff. Many organisations also choose to match the donations made by their employees.
Once a staff member has indicated they would like to support Peter Mac through workplace giving, regular donations are automatically deducted from their pre-tax salary via your payroll system or through an online giving platform. Your staff can decide the amount they would like to donate.
Workplace giving is simple to administer, and gives your employees tax advantages. It can also provide Peter Mac with a stable stream of support, so it’s a great way to help fight cancer.

Workplace Giving FAQ's
Workplace giving is a joint relationship between employers, employees and not-for-profits. Individuals contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary to not-for-profits and receive the tax benefit straight away. Employers often match employee contributions to help make an even bigger impact. Workplace giving is an impactful way to support vital cancer research. If your company isn’t able to offer a workplace giving program, you can always join as a regular supporter.
Employees are more likely to donate if their employer matches their workplace giving donations. It communicates to employees that senior management believe in the program and want to have a bigger impact on cancer research. Many organisations view the matching of their employees gifts as not only an employee benefit but as a key part of their overall engagement strategy.
