Workplace giving is an easy and tax-effective way to support Primary Ethics. A workplace giving program is set up by an employer so that employees can donate to a charity directly from their salaries. It’s easy to set up and provides many benefits for both companies and employees while supporting a great cause. Employers can also choose to match their employee’s contributions.
Charities receive 100 per cent of all funds donated through workplace giving.
Since all donations are made through their payroll, employees don’t need to do anything once it’s set up.
Donations of more than two dollars are deducted from an employee’s salary before it is taxed, resulting in an immediate tax saving.
Workplace giving is about more than just donations. We can meet with your employer and share the benefits of our program, the opportunities it represents to our volunteers and to children in ethics classes as well as the practical benefits of workplace giving.
Your bequest to Primary Ethics will work for future generations.
Every year, more than 2,500 dedicated Primary Ethics volunteers generously provide their time and skills every week in term time. It is an extraordinary and invaluable commitment from local communities to the children in their schools. To enable these amazing people to be recruited, trained and have ongoing support, we rely on donations from individuals, organisations and foundations.
Without the belief and support provided by these extraordinary individuals and organisations, Primary Ethics simply would not exist. Together they laid the foundations for our ethics program. We cannot thank them enough for their contributions and their firm belief in the benefits our classes offer to Australian school children. We are proud to say that almost all of our foundational supporters continue to support Primary Ethics as we grow each year.
