The power of many

Through Workplace Giving (sometimes called Payroll Giving) employees give small, regular donations to charity from their pre-tax pay.

It's a simple, convenient and cost-effective way to provide vital ongoing support helping Starlight to bring happiness to sick kids.

For the cost of a cup of coffee every week, you can have a huge positive impact on the daily life of a sick child.

Benefits of workplace giving

  • Give as much or as little as you like

  • Donations are tax-deductible

  • Giving from pre-tax income means donations cost you less, your taxable income is reduced and we receive the full benefit of the donation.

  • Sustainable source of funds helps Starlight plan for the future

If your organisation doesn't have a Workplace Giving Program, now's the time to start one. Contact your HR or payroll department and make sure you nominate Starlight as your charity partner! Or contact corporatepartnerships@starlight.org.au and we can help you start your Workplace Giving program.

If your company doesn't offer a Workplace Giving Program you can still make an online donation to Starlight or set up regular giving monthly giving.

Why Workplace Giving?

  • Simple, tax-effective way for your organisation to support the community

  • Boosts staff engagement and sense of pride

  • Enhances your organisation’s reputation

  • Creates long-term social impact

A workplace giving program can be easily managed through your payroll system with no tax forms to fill out. As donations are deducted from pre–tax pay, the tax benefit for the employee is immediate and there is no need to keep receipts or claim at tax time.

Double the impact

Many organisations match the donations made by their staff, doubling the impact of every donation.

Matched giving is a great way to encourage your teams to participate in your Workplace Giving Program.

A matched contribution can be paid at set times throughout the year and, if needed, can be capped.
