Workplace giving
Workplace giving allows your employees to give regularly to Garvan from their pre-tax income.
Regular donations mean we’re able to budget and plan medical research programs well into the future. And, since employees’ donations are taken from pre-tax income, it’s a convenient and cost-effective way for them to give. You can also choose to match their donations – a great way to show your commitment to giving back and supporting the causes your employees are passionate about.
Benefits of getting involved:
Workplace visits – where your staff can hear first-hand from leading Garvan scientists about their ground-breaking research
Invitations to seminars and behind-the-scenes tours of our state-of-the-art facilities
Flexibility and choice – you choose how much you’d like to donate each pay cycle, and the area of breakthrough research you’d like to support.
Updates – regular updates on how your donations are changing the future of medicine.
How it works
The best part of Workplace Giving is that the donation is made from your pre-tax income, so the tax deduction is immediate. For example, if you nominated a donation of, say, $5 each pay cycle it would actually cost you less than that (depending on your level of taxation), because of the automatic tax deduction. Your chosen charity however receives the full $5.
If your employer chooses to dollar-match employee donations then your generosity goes even further.
“It’s a simple, efficient, effective and tax-incentivised way of making regular donations.”
