What is workplace giving?
Workplace Giving (often referred to as payroll giving) is a simple and low cost yet powerful way for your employees to make regular donations from their pay to assist WWF-Australia to conserve Australian flora, fauna and habitats, stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and help build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. You can find out more in WWF-Australia's workplace giving brochure.

Making a difference
Workplace Giving is one of the least resource intensive ways businesses can help support the community. It gives employees a simple, convenient and efficient way to give to causes they care about, it provides charities with a steady flow of income, and it helps businesses establish credibility as good corporate citizens.
For employers, Workplace Giving can be the foundation of a fully integrated corporate community investment program, which can significantly benefit employees and positively impact on an organisation's ability to attract and retain staff.
"If just 10% of working Australians donated $5 per week through their pay, an additional $260m would be generated each year."

How to donate to WWF-Australia via workplace giving
If your organisation has a workplace giving program in place you should contact your payroll department and submit the form in WWF-Australia's workplace giving brochure. If your organisation does not yet have a workplace giving program contact your community affairs, corporate social responsibility or human resources team and ask for a workplace giving program to be established and for WWF-Australia to be nominated as a charity partner.
For organisations that do not have a workplace giving program in place, please contact WWF-Australia at workplacegiving@wwf.org.au for guidance. The Australian Taxation Office website and Australian Charities Fund can also provide helpful information.
