ALSOCare & Benevolent Society Inc - Workplace Giving

Workplace Giving

Is a super-efficient way for employees of businesses and corporations of all sizes to help to provide sustainable services and projects that benefit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people across Victoria and beyond.

Benefits to Employers

• Provides employers with a low cost and administratively simple way to support employee engagement in the community and realize their corporate social responsibility.
• Builds employee morale.
• Mobilizes significant funding and volunteer resources to benefit the GLBT community.

Benefits to Employees

• Reduce your tax - Workplace Giving enables employees to make regular charitable donations from their pre-tax pay, resulting in an automatic tax reduction, without the need to keep and claim receipts.
• 100% goes to help - Workplace Giving does not incur the same expenses and administrative costs as other types of fundraising, thus ensuring that your donation will have the maximum impact.

Benefits to ALSO

For ALSO, workplace giving provides us with much needed funds to assist our programs and projects, while enabling us to continue to expand the social, charitable and advocacy services we offer.

Who benefits

ALSO is one of the very few broadly focused community support organisations in Australia working to assist and benefit the GLBTIQ community across Victoria. Our services range from homeless young people through to socially isolated older people.

How does payroll giving work?

Below, we’ve set out a simple three-step process for you to follow.

1 Employees ask their employers to enter into a workplace giving arrangement.

2 Employees nominate ALSOCare & Benevolent Society as their preferred charity, and that they wish to make a regular donation (for example, fortnightly or monthly) as well as the donation amount.

3 The donation is paid directly by the employer to ALSO.

The amount you decide to donate to ALSO is automatically deducted from your salary before tax – which means it saves you money!

Does my employer offer this scheme?

Ask your employer's payroll department if they offer Workplace Giving. If they don't, suggest that they start one - it is easy and inexpensive to run. Fill out the attached Workplace Giving form and we’ll contact them and help them set it up.
