Support Clean Up Australia through Workplace Giving
Did you know that Workplace Giving engages your employees, has a positive impact on the community and, ultimately, improves business performance?
A successful Workplace Giving program will bring your organisation's values and culture to life - helping your staff find a greater sense of purpose at work, and get involved with activities that develop pride, foster teamwork, enhance motivation and create social change.
What is Workplace Giving?
It is when employees make small, regular donations through their pre-tax pay.
It's simple, low cost and extremely effective.
You can also boost the impact of your Workplace Giving program through donation matching, fundraising, volunteering, skill sharing and in-kind support.
Why Workplace Giving?
It's a win-win-win for business, employees and charities. You enjoy greater staff engagement, retention, productivity, reputation and social impact.
Your staff give together in a smarter way and build a sense of pride in their employer and Clean Up Australia, as your nominated charity gets much needed, regular funds, and access to a valuable partnership.
WHY CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA?
Three decades ago, an "average Australian" had a simple idea to make a difference – and the late Ian Kiernan’s dream of bringing Aussies together to improve the environment has seen Clean Up Australia grow into the nation's largest community-based environmental event.
But we know that Australia's waste challenges can't be solved in just one day. Over the past three decades Clean Up Australia has evolved to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year, and along the way, emerged as one of the country’s most recognised, credible and trusted environmental organisations.
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN:
- Deliver authentic and meaningful change
- Shape the future of young people in Australia
Why Workplace Giving is important for your business:
- 85% of employees think it's important to 'give back' through work
- Workplace givers are more highly engaged employees
- Global research shows high employee engagement drives business performance
- CEOs believe Workplace Giving plays a critical role in talent
- Australians see business investment in the community as one of the most important drivers of trust.
- Workplace Giving responds to one of the significant challenges faced by charities like Clean Up Australia today - finding stable and low-cost sources of funding
Today the focus of Clean Up Australia is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated. We facilitate meaningful and positive action, by reaching the next generation of young people through practical activities and educational programs delivered in schools right across the country.
We give young Australians the tools to act – to get out there in streets, parks, playgrounds and beaches, cleaning up, fixing up and conserving the environment, making a practical difference in a hands-on way. Critically, we also provide the resources, know-how and skills that deliver lasting change.
Your involvement will help us provide free materials and educational resources to schools all year round, supporting a new generation of Australians to clean up, fix up and conserve the environment.
What will it take from here?
Setting up your Workplace Giving Program
There is no one-size-fits-all program. To ensure you get the best program for your organisation, your staff and your charity partners, follow these simple steps...
Workplace Giving doesn't affect an employee's superannuation and payroll tax calculations like salary sacrificing. Workplace giving reduces the donor's PAYG liability, but it doesn't decrease their gross income. Workplace Giving eliminates the need for employees to keep records of charitable donations and guarantees they receive the tax benefits of donating each pay.
We recommend you consider engaging a third party provider to process donations to make it easier.
There are plenty of platforms available to help make workplace giving easier.
