Workplace Giving is living proof that small change can make a big difference

Thank you for your interest in supporting Foodbank Queensland. Workplace giving is a great way to show your support. Also known as payroll giving, this program allows staff to donate a portion of their pre-tax salary, which companies can then match to double the impact. To set up workplace giving for your organisation, all you need to do is set up payroll donations and then encourage your staff to sign up. The program offers a strong sense of purpose for those participating.

There are two ways you can set up Workplace Giving for your organisation:

Third-Party Platform

Using a platform provides an easy to navigate and streamlined process for your payroll team and staff. You will find further set up instructions via their website. Staff are able to create accounts, choose a charity and donation amount and manage their contributions themselves.

There are several platforms you can use, such as Good2Give or Goodcompany. The use of a thirdparty platform does however incur a fee, unlike bank transfers.

Bank Transfer

You can set up your Workplace Giving program internally through regular bank transfers that coincide with your pay cycle. For assistance with this, we suggest visiting the ATO website, Workplace Giving Australia or 1 Million Donors. Paying via bank transfer means that you don’t have to worry about fees incurred by third party platforms. In order to set up a bank transfer, please contact Foodbank to receive deposit details.

Workplace Giving is living proof that small change can make a big difference. If you’re ready to apply for Workplace Giving, or have any questions please email the Foodbank team at fundraising@foodbankqld.org.au
