Workplace giving

Be part of Australia’s best, most progressive cancer research

Workplace Giving is a simple and tax-effective way to donate regularly to Australian Cancer Research Foundation.

Workplace giving is a joint relationship between employers, employees, and charities – working together to deliver significant social impact.

By making small, regular donations from your pre-tax pay to ACRF, you can receive a tax benefit straight away by reducing your taxable income – all while supporting Australia’s best cancer research.

If your company doesn’t yet offer a workplace giving program, you can still make regular contributions to ACRF by joining us as a monthly giver.

Small act with a big impact

Research shows that the relationship between not-for-profits and businesses is increasingly vital, expected, and essential for corporate success. A recent study conducted by Workplace Giving Australia shows:

84%

of respondents say engagement with charities and good causes is now more important than ever in our current climate.

79%

of respondents believe that companies have a social responsibility to set standards of ethical behaviour by actively engaging in philanthropy.

62%

of respondents would be more likely to recommend a company that was a leader in corporate philanthropy (over 70% for Gen Z).

How does it work?

Employees can make regular pre-tax donations through their payroll system, making giving both simple and tax-effective.

For example, donating $20 may only cost you $12.26*, while ACRF receives the full $20.

Workplace giving also allows employers to match donations, doubling the impact and further supporting life-saving cancer research.

According to Workplace Giving Australia, many employees would contribute even more if businesses provided greater corporate support and promotion. In fact, 62% of employees said they were encouraged to donate because their employer matched their contribution.

*Exact figures depend on individual ATO personal tax brackets.
